Speedify gives your business a Starlink connection that stays online.
Real-world data from 6,228 Starlink dishes shows every dish goes down ~33 minutes per day. For businesses, that means dropped transactions, failed calls, and interrupted operations. Speedify adds a cellular backup and fails over in under a second — so your team never notices.

How Speedify Bonds Starlink in Software
Speedify connects to Speedify’s global server network and splits traffic at the packet level across every available connection at once – Starlink, Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, wired Ethernet, other satellite. A single transfer or stream uses the combined capacity of all bonded links, up to 95% of theoretical aggregate throughput, and failover to the remaining connections happens in under a second.
Mushroom’s bonding lives in an appliance, so every site that needs it needs a box. Speedify runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and supported OpenWrt routers, so a business bonds Starlink on the devices it already operates, without procuring, shipping, and racking hardware per location. For a distributed or mobile operation, that is the difference between a software rollout and a hardware logistics project.
Speedify also adds tooling outside an appliance model. Speedify’s Starlink Control Center reads obstruction maps, throughput, ping, uptime, and dish alerts straight from each dish, with alignment tools for multi-dish aiming. Speedify’s cellular sharing feature pools 4G/5G cellular across devices on the same network, useful exactly where one appliance with one set of modems would still be signal-starved.

Which Speedify Deployment Suits a Mushroom Evaluation
Businesses look at Mushroom when they want bonding at a fixed site. The Speedify deployment that matches is the software app for per-device or per-site bonding, with Speedify Teams for central management across locations, running on those same devices.
Where a business genuinely wants a single bonded gateway at a site, a Powered by Speedify router fills that role while the rest of the fleet stays on the cross-platform app. For embedding bonding into a product or fleet device, the Speedify SDK does what an appliance cannot.
