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 as a Supported Product
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, call, or stream uses the combined capacity of all bonded links, up to 95% of theoretical aggregate throughput, with failover to the remaining connections in under a second.
OpenMPTCProuter requires a supported OpenWrt router on site and a separate VPS that the business installs, secures, and maintains as the aggregation endpoint. It depends on Multipath TCP, which works well for TCP throughput but is weaker for real-time and UDP traffic over cellular, and connections need latency under 500 ms to participate. There is no commercial support contract behind it.
Speedify runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and supported OpenWrt routers with no VPS to build, and handles real-time traffic such as VoIP and video calls alongside bulk transfer. Speedify has run in production since 2014 across 15 million downloads.
Speedify also gives a business something OpenMPTCProuter users explicitly lose once their dish is bonded behind the tunnel: visibility into the Starlink dish itself. Speedify’s Starlink Control Center reads obstruction maps, throughput, ping, uptime, and dish alerts 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.
