Stay Hip with a Faster Connection
Today, instant messaging apps like HipChat have become a lifeline for folks staying in touch across the globe. For many users with HipChat installed on their iOS or Android device, instant messaging and chat has come to replace email and text message as a preferred mode of interaction online. Instant delivery and mobile notifications has totally shifted the landscape of professional communications on smartphones.
The problem is is, HipChat, just like every other messenger service and IM application, requires fast, stable connectivity in order to work properly on-the-go. While text-based chat and large media images and videos can fail to transfer and interrupt your conversations and productivity, Hipchat becomes ultimately useless without a strong LTE or Wi-Fi connection.
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.
