Abstract
Low-cost energy-efficient network-managed and device-managed continuous connectivity can include establishing, with a gateway, wireless communications, the gateway communicating via a connection with a fiber network. The connection with the fiber network can be monitored to determine if the connection with the fiber network has been lost by the gateway, and if a determination is made that the connection with the fiber network has been lost by the gateway, a cellular connection with a cellular network can be activated at a fallback device and communications from the gateway to the cellular network can be relayed through the fallback device. The connection with the fiber network can be monitored to determine if the connection with the fiber network has been reestablished by the gateway. If a determination is made that the connection with the fiber network has been reestablished by the gateway, the cellular connection can be terminated.
