Contrivian announces merger with Big Network | Read More

Every Packet.
Every Path.
Every Time.

Traffic finds the best path before your applications feel the impact.
Not failover. Intelligent bonding.

From Our Principal Technologist

Why We Built Lighthouse.

"Failover sounds good until you think about what it actually means — your traffic was on a bad path, your users felt it, and then the system reacted. That's not engineering. That's damage control. We built Lighthouse because we wanted traffic to move before anyone notices. Every path, measured continuously. Every decision, made in real time. The application never knows anything changed. That's what intelligent bonding is, and it's a fundamentally different way to think about how networks should work."

Real-time path telemetry, dynamic policy-based routing, bi-directional FEC, and sub-second switching

Multi-Carrier LTE/5G

Integrated cellular for path diversity and out-of-band management

Firewall, VPN & SD-WAN

Enterprise-grade security built in. No bolt-on appliances.

Managed Service & 24/7 NOC

Contrivian designs, deploys, and operates the environment. One SLA. One support path.

Key Capabilities

Built Different. Engineered to Stay On.

Performance

Sub-Second Intelligent Switching

Switching across fiber, broadband, wireless, LTE/5G, and LEO — all paths evaluated continuously, all transitions invisible to users.

Telemetry

Full-Path Monitoring

Packet loss, latency, and jitter monitoring across every available path. Real performance data — not carrier-reported metrics.

Resilience

Bi-Directional Forward Error Correction

Proactive packet recovery at the network edge. Reduces retransmission over degraded or high-latency links.

Intelligence

Dynamic Policy-Based Routing

Traffic routed by real-time conditions and application-level policies — not reactive triggers, not static configurations.

Architecture

Multi-Modal Awareness

All connectivity modalities evaluated as a single environment — not isolated links with separate failover logic.

Optimization

Application-Level Performance

Path decisions around application behavior and user experience — not just network availability.

How It Works

From Access to Application.

Access Layer

Multi-Modal Connectivity

Fiber, broadband, LTE/5G, and LEO satellite. All paths active. All paths measured.

Intelligent Edge

Intelligent Edge

Continuous real-world path performance monitoring — latency, packet loss, jitter, throughput.

Routing Layer

Software-Defined Bonding

Traffic bonded across best-performing paths based on real-time telemetry and policies.

Management

NorthStar™ Visibility

Centralized lifecycle management and operational control.

Supported Networks

Carrier-Neutral. Performance-Driven.

Any Provider

Fiber

Dedicated or shared. Ethernet or wavelength. Any ISP.

Any Provider

Broadband

Cable, DSL, fixed wireless. Commodity circuits made intelligent.

Multi-Carrier

Multi-Carrier LTE/5G

Primary, backup, or bonded. Multi-carrier cellular.

Starlink · Amazon Leo

LEO Satellite

Via Contrivian Constellation™ for multi-constellation access.

Where It Matters

Engineered for Environments Where Failure Is Not an Option.

Hospital Imaging + Cloud AI

Government Field + Dispatch

Remote Energy + Utilities

Why Contrivian for LEO

Contrivian Lighthouse™
vs. Legacy Networking

Capability
Legacy Approach

Path Intelligence

Continuous real-time measurement and dynamic selection across all modalities

Static routing and reactive failover after degradation occurs

Architecture

Intelligent bonding across all available modalities simultaneously

Single-network dependency with bolt-on redundancy

Optimization

 Application-aware path decisions

Network-first decisions disconnected from application performance

Error Correction

Bi-directional FEC at the network edg

No proactive error correction; relies on retransmission

Switching

Sub-second transitions invisible to users

Failover gaps measured in seconds or minutes

Tracking

 Real-time GPS and location awareness

No asset tracking; manual site inventory

Accountability

One architecture, one SLA, one partner

Layered providers, margin stacking, shared responsibility

The Contrivian Platform

Part of a Larger Architecture.

Lifecycle Management

Centralized visibility for design, procurement, monitoring, and operational control.

Rapid Deployment

Field-ready connectivity systems for fixed sites, in-motion vehicles and vessels, and portable field deployment.

Multi-Constellation Connectivity

Multiple LEO constellations orchestrated into one intelligent satellite layer.
