Keep your firewall. We bond the links, ours or anyone’s, and keep the site online.
Hosted Network SD-WAN bonds whatever internet a site has into one always-on link with a static IP that never changes, and you manage every site from one partner portal. Built in Australia, by us, for MSPs.
Wholesale only. No minimums. You own the customer, we never compete with you.
Interactive diagram. Use the buttons to drop or restore each link and watch the site stay online.
Three links bonded into one always-on link. Pull a cable to watch it reroute.
Your customers already know these problems. They just don’t know they’re fixable.
One link is a single point of failure
One nbn or fibre service means one fault takes the whole site dark. For a business taking payments or calls, every outage is lost revenue.
No single link is fast enough
Especially regional and rural. The best available service cannot carry the traffic, and an upgrade often isn’t an option that exists.
Failover is not seamless
Cheap 4G failover routers drop every session on cutover. Calls die, card terminals reset, VPNs re-authenticate, and everyone notices.
Multi-site is stitched together
Sites reach each other over ad hoc VPNs or expensive MPLS, from another vendor, managed in another tool.
How it works
Three parts. You only ever touch one of them.
Our device on site
Plug in every connection the site has. The device bonds them into one link. Ship it, it phones home and pulls its own config. No engineer on site.
One bonded link to our network
All connections carry traffic at once, as a single tunnel, back to a Hosted Network data centre. Encryption is possible (reduces overall bandwidth throughput).
Static IP and firewall, applied by us
The customer’s public IP lives in our data centre, not on any one connection. Links can come and go. The IP, and their sessions, stay put.
Bring your own firewall. Bring your own links, or buy them from us.
We are not competing for the firewall. We make the WAN underneath it work.
- Plug in the firewall you already sell. In bridging mode we hand the static public IP straight through to it. Their firewall, their rules, their licences, their dashboard. Nothing changes on their side.
- Buy the links from us, or bond what’s already there. Our nbn, fibre and 4G land on the same bill as the SD-WAN. Existing services from another carrier bond in just the same. Any mix, any technology.
- We handle the failover. The firewall never sees a link fail. It sees one stable interface with one IP that never changes.
- Nothing to re-register when a link dies. Same IP across every connection and every failover. No whitelists to update, no VPNs to rebuild, no DNS to chase.
Works in front of
Works over
Two ways to deploy
What every site gets
One monthly service. Every capability included, no feature licences.
Link bonding
Multiple WAN links combined into one pipe. A single flow can exceed any one link.
Seamless failover
Reroutes in well under a second. Sessions survive a leg dropping.
Static public IP
One fixed IP delivered over the tunnel, unchanged across link failures, even on 4G.
Built-in redundancy
Every appliance connects to multiple data centres at once. Local internet failover is available too, configured per site.
QoS and traffic shaping
Voice, video, business and best-effort classes. Voice keeps priority under congestion.
Private site to site
Offices mesh together privately without going over the internet. An MPLS alternative.
Central firewall (optional)
Route a site via a hosted central firewall that ties into our network or the customer’s own.
Optional encryption
The tunnel can be encrypted where a customer needs it (reduces overall bandwidth throughput).
Three link modes. Same hardware. It’s a portal setting.
Change it any time, per site, with no truck roll.
Full bonding
SpeedAll links active at once. Throughput is the sum of the links. For maximum speed and resilience.
Bond plus failover
Most commonMain links bonded, a backup like 4G sits idle and only activates if all bonded links drop. Pay for burst only when you need it.
Failover only
SimplestLinks ranked by priority. The top one carries traffic, the next takes over on failure. The simplest, cheapest resilience story.
Add a private mesh between sites, or a central firewall, on top of any mode. They work independently of each other.
This is not the SD-WAN feature in your firewall
Appliance SD-WAN picks a link. We combine them, and we own the far end.
| SD-WAN on an edge appliance | Hosted Network SD-WAN | |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple links | Traffic is steered per session. Any single download, call or transfer sits on one link. | Links are bonded. Packets from one flow spread across every link, so one session can exceed any one link. |
| When a link drops | The session moves to another link and typically re-establishes. Voice and card terminals notice. | Sub-second reroute. The IP is ours, in our data centre, so the session never knows a leg dropped. |
| Public IP | Belongs to whichever carrier is carrying traffic. Failover changes it, unless you build and host your own hub. | One fixed IP applied in our data centre. Unchanged across failure, works over 4G and CGNAT. |
| The far end | You provide it. A hub, a static IP, a data centre or cloud instance, and someone to maintain it. | Already built. Four data centres, every site connected to more than one, run by us. |
| Who owns the outage | You own the box, the carriers own the links, and you own the conversation. | One vendor for the device, the bond and the transit. |
| Commercials | Hardware plus per-box licences, renewal exposure, plus running the head end. | One monthly per-site service with the network included. |
Where a firewall’s SD-WAN still wins
Deep application-aware steering, a full security stack, and one dashboard across firewall, switching and wireless. If the driver is security consolidation, keep that. We sit underneath it.
Where we win
A site that has to stay up, a location where no single link is good enough, and a partner who wants one vendor and one bill for the WAN.
Built for how an MSP actually runs it
- ✓We build the whole platform.The device, the network side and the portal are ours. When something needs fixing, we fix it. No waiting on a vendor.
- ✓Zero-touch provisioning.Ship the device to site. It phones home and pulls its config. No engineer on site, no truck roll for changes.
- ✓Your own scoped portal access.See and manage only your tenants. Per-link health, bond state, throughput, alerts to your people, firewall rules, safe rollback.
- ✓One bill with the rest of your stack.Bundle it with the nbn, fibre and voice you already buy from us. One invoice to rebill.
- ✓Wholesale only, no minimums.The customer is yours. We have no retail arm and never will.
Working with Hosted Network is like having an extension of your team. Or your family. We needed an SD-WAN solution rolled out across 3 states and more than 20 sites, and we got it.
Where it earns its keep
Retail and multi-site SMB
EFTPOS and cloud POS that cannot go down. Bond nbn plus 4G, voice on QoS priority, every store in one portal.
Uptime-critical operations
Clinics, dispatch, logistics. Session-preserving failover with an optional central firewall as the security demarcation.
Multi-site and MPLS replacement
Private mesh through our network, bundled with the bonded WAN at every site. One vendor, one bill.
Camps and temporary sites
Bond whatever’s available, LTE plus satellite plus fixed. Stand up fast with zero touch, tear down when done. Optional captive portal for per-user access.
Not for every site. A single office on solid fibre that doesn’t care about uptime doesn’t need this, and we’ll tell you so.
The questions your customers will ask
And the answers you can give them.
It’s bonding. Around 900 Mbps has been measured from a fibre plus 4G combination. A single flow spreads across the links, so one download or one video stream can exceed the speed of any single connection. Load balancing can’t do that.
Encryption is optional, per site, and it does reduce overall throughput. That’s exactly why the customer gets to choose the balance for each location.
Those drop every session on cutover, so calls die and card terminals reset. Ours reroutes in well under a second and the sessions survive, because the public IP lives in our network rather than on either link.
No. Hosted Network builds the whole platform: the on-site device, the network side and the portal. When something needs fixing, we fix it ourselves.
Every appliance connects to multiple Hosted Network data centres at the same time, so losing one doesn’t take the site down. If a site ever can’t reach our network at all, the appliance also supports local internet failover, breaking out directly over its own connections. It’s configured per site to suit what that customer needs.
You don’t have to. In bridging mode our device hands the static public IP straight through to the customer’s existing firewall or router. Their config stays exactly as it is.
It replaces tools. Bonded WAN, site-to-site, firewall and monitoring in one portal, with access scoped to your own tenants.
See it fail over live, at your desk or your customer’s.
We’ll come out with a pre-provisioned unit, pull the cables in front of you, and leave the box behind for a trial. An engineer follows up within seven days.
