TechnologyUnder the hood

A connection isn't the hardware.
It's the operation around it.

FastNet stacks five pieces: custom gateway hardware, carrier-diverse SIMs, a private packet core, continuous monitoring, and the engineers who run it. Here's how each part pulls its weight.

Site survey

Before anything is ordered

A network engineer visits your property with spectrum-analysis gear. We measure actual signal from every carrier at every candidate mount point — not tower-locator guesses. You get a report; we get the right plan.

The Beacon gateway

Custom hardware, installed discreetly

Our Beacon G2 is a professional-grade 5G gateway with dual-SIM, dual-carrier redundancy, 2.5GbE out, and a mmWave+sub-6 antenna array. It lives in the utility closet, rack, or equipment room — never on your kitchen counter.

Peak throughput3.4 Gbps
Radios5G NR mmWave + Sub-6, dual-SIM
Handoff2.5GbE / SFP+ / Wi-Fi 7 optional
PowerPoE+ or 12V

Carrier-diverse routing

Two networks, one invisible handoff

The Beacon holds active sessions on two carriers simultaneously. If one sector degrades — congestion, weather, a truck hitting a tower — traffic switches over without dropping TCP connections.

Switchover time< 400ms typical
Session continuityYes — MPTCP optional
SLA target99.99% weekly
Reroute eventsLogged and reported

Private packet core

Your traffic on our backbone

Every Beacon tunnels into our private APN. You get a static IP, no carrier-grade NAT, and the option to egress from LA, Phoenix, or Dallas. Makes VPN, security cameras, and smart-home integrations behave like they do on fiber.

24/7 monitoring

We see it before you do

Every Beacon pings our NOC every 30 seconds with throughput, latency, signal quality, and failover state. Alerts go to our on-call engineer, not a ticket queue. If you call, you reach a human who already knows what happened.

Let's see if FastNet is right for your address.

Check 5G coverage in 30 seconds. If your signal qualifies, we'll schedule a survey. If it doesn't, we'll tell you — and we won't try to sell you anything.
