Business Continuity, Made Simple

Business continuity isn’t a buzzword; it’s your everyday safety net. If the lights go out or the line dips, a blip never becomes a breakdown. Keep your customers connected, whatever happens. ProVu brings it together: vM2M (powered by Anvil) for rock-solid 4G backup, the Mylion ML1202AC Mini UPS to keep power flowing, and our ACS Server to push settings and updates in a click, so teams carry on as normal. Simple to sell, easy to manage.

Your customer-friendly continuity stack

1) Keep the power on (UPS).

Pop a Mylion ML1202AC behind the ONT/router (and other critical kit). It acts as a smart 12 V adapter and battery, with LiFePO₄ chemistry and typical runtimes of a few hours depending on load, easily covering Ofcom’s 1-hour minimum.

2) Keep the internet up (4G failover).

Fit a vM2M SIM in a dual-WAN/4G router so the site can switch to the strongest available UK network when fixed broadband fails. Need inbound management or VPN? Choose Fixed-IP.

3) Keep control (ProVu ACS Server).

Our UK-hosted TR-069 ACS gives you one secure place to auto-provision, push changes instantly, schedule firmware/bulk updates, run diagnostics, and keep estates tidy. Whether it’s ten devices or ten thousand.

What ACS unlocks

  • Click-to-provision: Push APNs, QoS and failover timers to routers in seconds; adopt any TR-069-enabled device with templated profiles.
  • Real-time fixes: Pull live parameters, run diagnostics, and resolve issues without rolling a truck.
  • Safer by design: Enforce HTTPS/TLS and certificate best practice for device ↔ ACS sessions.
  • Made for scale: Multi-tenancy for resellers/end-customers, reporting for signal/uptime/firmware, and scheduled tasks for tidy, repeatable ops.

Pricing starts from £0.25 per device/month with volume discounts.

A 5-step checklist you can sell with every order

UPS the edge: Router/ONT (and any ATA/phone, access control, telecare). Aim for ≥60 minutes runtime as standard as per Ofcom guidance.
Add 4G failover: vM2M SIM + health checks; prioritise voice and payments during failover.
Template it in ACS: One profile for APN, DNS, QoS, timers; schedule firmware in waves.
Power-down drill: 15-minute test, confirm 999 calls work and failover is seamless; log the results.
Leave a one-pager: What stays online, how to reach support, and how to spot failover.

Meet the Solutions

Package power + connectivity + control on every order. Here’s what each component does and where it shines.

Stop Promising Security, Prove it!

Here’s the reality. Your customers aren’t buying acronyms; they’re buying the calm certainty that Monday won’t start with a portal outage and a CEO on the warpath. In UK telecoms right now, evidence beats promises and that’s where you win.

So why now?

  • Ransomware is testing carriers in public – After a recent UK teleco firm’s data breach made headlines and boardrooms nervous. The lesson isn’t panic; it’s pace; patch faster, configure tighter, and make sure even areas you think no one uses are covered by some security.
  • Regulators want proof – Ofcom is forcing tougher anti-spoofing measures, and DSIT’s just opened a consultation to update the Telecoms Security Code of Practice. Expect more scrutiny of segmentation, firmware, and access control, plus audit trails.
  • AI is shrinking the patch-to-exploit window – NCSC’s outlook to 2027 is blunt: attackers will scale up exploitation of known flaws. Basics, done brilliantly, beat silver bullets.
