Mobilware — Connectivity made simple

Starlink · Bonding

Combine Starlink links for resilient connectivity.

Use multiple Starlink connections as part of a managed WAN architecture to improve continuity and, with an appropriate bonding design, distribute traffic across links. Mobilware can help deliver the on-site network equipment, tunnel architecture and central termination infrastructure needed for the selected approach.

Two Starlink terminals at about 200 Mbps each combined by a bonding router into about 400 Mbps to the Internet

True Bandwidth Aggregation

2x Starlink = 2x the speed. Add LTE for even more throughput and redundancy.

Seamless Failover

If a WAN goes down, active sessions continue uninterrupted on remaining links. Zero dropped calls.

QoS Traffic Prioritization

Voice, video, and critical apps get priority. Bufferbloat eliminated with SQM.

Prioritize voice, video, and critical applications. SQM eliminates bufferbloat for smooth performance.

05

VPN Encryption

All traffic encrypted through our secure tunnel servers. Enterprise-grade security built in.

06

Remote Management

We monitor and manage everything remotely. Firmware updates, config changes, troubleshooting — all handled.

How it works

Failover, load balancing and bonding — the difference

  1. 01

    Failover

    One link carries traffic; the other takes over if it fails.

  2. 02

    Load balancing

    Different sessions use different links. A single session still uses one link.

  3. 03

    True bonding

    Traffic is split across links per flow or per packet and recombined at a remote aggregation endpoint.

  4. 04

    Selection

Why it matters

When One Connection Isn't Enough. And Failure Isn't an Option.

Mission-critical operations can't afford downtime. This dual-Starlink bonding solution doesn't just boost throughput — it builds resilience into every packet. If one terminal degrades or drops, traffic seamlessly flows through the other, keeping you online when it matters most. Open-source OpenMPTCProuter handles the intelligence, running on a compact mini PC with a cloud VPS completing the link on the land side. No single point of failure. No proprietary lock-in. Just robust, always-on connectivity designed for remote sites, mobile deployments, and operations where staying connected is non-negotiable. Mobilware monitors both links around the clock.

Break the Bandwidth Ceiling. Scale Without Limits.

Single-connection satellite internet has a ceiling. Bonding two Starlink terminals shatters it. By aggregating both links into one high-throughput pipeline, this solution delivers the speed and capacity that data-intensive operations demand — streaming, cloud workloads, large file transfers, and more. Built on open-source OpenMPTCProuter and deployed via an affordable mini PC with cloud-based land-side aggregation, it's a cost-effective alternative to expensive enterprise circuits. Add capacity as you grow, swap hardware freely, and never be locked into a proprietary ecosystem. This is connectivity built to scale with your ambitions — fast, flexible, and fully in your control.

FAQ

Questions we're often asked

What is the difference between load balancing and bonding?

Load balancing assigns whole sessions to different links, so a single download still uses one link. Bonding splits traffic across links and recombines it at a central endpoint, so a single session can use the combined capacity — at the cost of extra equipment and overhead.

Do I need a central server?

True bonding normally requires a remote aggregation endpoint. Failover and load balancing do not.

Can bonding work with non-Starlink links?

Many bonding designs can combine different link types, such as cellular. This is assessed per project.
