Abstract
A system for maintaining network connectivity comprising a network connected device, a probe, and a monitoring platform electronically connected to the network connected device through a first network system, wherein the monitoring device can autonomously activate a second network system if the first network system is interrupted.
Claims19
A system for maintaining network connectivity comprising:
- (a) a network connected device;
- (b) a probe in communication with the network connected device;
- and
- (c) a monitoring platform in electronic communication with the network connected device through a first data carrier,
- wherein the monitoring platform is configured to monitor the state of a connection between the network connected device and the first data carrier, and wherein the monitoring platform is configured to activate a second data carrier when the connection between the network connected device and the first data carrier is interrupted, and
- wherein the monitoring platform activates the second data carrier by sending an API request to the second data carrier.

A system for maintaining network connectivity comprising:
- (a) a probe in communication with a networked device;
- (b) an edge device in electronic communication with the probe;
- and
- (c) a monitoring platform in electronic communication with the edge device and the probe through a first data carrier,
- wherein the monitoring platform is configured to receive packets from the probe for monitoring a connection between the networked device and the first data carrier, and wherein the monitoring platform autonomously activates a second data carrier when the monitoring platform determines the connection between the networked device and the first data carrier is interrupted, and
- wherein the edge device uses dynamic provisioning for activating the second data carrier.
3 more elements
A system for maintaining network connectivity comprising:
- (a) a probe in electronic communication with a device;
- (b) an edge device in electronic communication with the probe and the device;
- (c) a monitoring platform electronically connected to the edge device and the probe through a first carrier wherein the monitoring platform periodically monitors a status of a connection between the edge device and the first carrier;
- and
- (d) computational logic contained in the monitoring platform capable of autonomously activating a second carrier when the connection between the edge device and the first carrier is interrupted,
- wherein the connection is interrupted when the connection is down for more than a threshold period of time and wherein the threshold period of time varies based on the time of day or day of the week,
- the second data carrier is inactive until monitoring platform activates the second data carrier by sending an API request, and
- the edge device uses dynamic provisioning for activating the second data carrier.
