1000+ Mbps Bonded Throughput. 99.9% Uptime. True MPTCP Aggregation — not load balancing, not failover. Real packet-level bonding for the most demanding remote environments.
A single Starlink dish is impressive — but it's not enough for mission-critical operations. Here's why.
One Starlink dish maxes out around 150–250 Mbps download in ideal conditions. During congestion, peak hours, or adverse weather, throughput drops dramatically — often below 50 Mbps. That's not enough for a 50-person incident command post or a production industrial site.
Starlink outages happen — weather, satellite handoffs, congestion, firmware updates. A single-link site goes dark when it does. In wildfire operations, construction sites, or maritime environments, a connectivity gap isn't just inconvenient. It's dangerous and costly.
Most consumer routers and cheap SD-WAN products do "load balancing" — they route different sessions to different links. Each individual connection still only gets one link's worth of bandwidth. True MPTCP bonding is fundamentally different: it aggregates all links at the packet level so every session benefits from the full combined pipe.
We deploy OpenMPTCProuter — the gold standard in open-source MPTCP bonding — backed by our own managed VPS infrastructure. MPTCP (Multipath TCP) is an extension to the standard TCP/IP stack that splits your data stream across multiple physical paths simultaneously.
The result: all your WAN links — Starlink dishes, LTE modems, fiber, cable, DSL — act as a single unified pipe. Every connection gets the full benefit of all your bandwidth. And if one link fails? Traffic silently redistributes across the remaining links. Zero interruption. Zero failover delay.
Richesin Engineering operates its own Starlink bonding VPS infrastructure. We've deployed bonded solutions for wildfire ICPs, remote mining operations, island communities, and maritime vessels. This isn't theoretical — it's what we do every day.
We design and build our own ruggedized bonding appliances — not repurposed consumer routers. Fanless aluminum, industrial-grade components, field-tested in the hardest environments.
Both units run OpenMPTCProuter and are pre-configured for your deployment before shipping. Contact us for current pricing and availability.
Not just hardware — a complete managed connectivity solution.
True packet-level multi-path TCP aggregation across all WAN links. Every session gets full bonded bandwidth — not per-session load balancing.
Starlink Gen 2, Gen 3, Mini — combined with LTE, 5G, fiber, cable, DSL, or VSAT. Mix and match any WAN technology on any interface.
Sub-second link failure detection and automatic traffic redistribution. No sessions drop, no VoIP calls cut, no video freezes. Invisible resilience.
Prioritize VoIP, video conferencing, and critical applications. Prevent bandwidth hogs from degrading mission-critical traffic. Configurable per-device and per-application policies.
All bonded traffic tunnels through encrypted VPN to our VPS infrastructure. Your data is protected end-to-end, even over public Starlink and cellular networks.
24/7 NOC monitoring of link health, throughput, and latency. Remote configuration changes, firmware updates, and troubleshooting without rolling a truck.
From consultation to ongoing monitoring — we handle everything. You focus on your operations.
We evaluate your WAN options, throughput requirements, redundancy needs, and budget. You get a specific design recommendation, not a generic quote.
Hardware arrives pre-configured and tested. Our team installs on-site (or provides guided self-install for field kits). VPS is provisioned and bonding is validated before we leave.
24/7 NOC monitoring of all link states, aggregate throughput, latency, and packet loss. Automated alerts for degraded links before they become outages.
Remote troubleshooting, configuration adjustments, firmware updates, and emergency on-site response when needed. SLA-backed support for mission-critical deployments.
Starlink bonding uses MPTCP (Multipath TCP) to combine multiple Starlink dishes and other WAN links at the packet level into a single high-throughput, resilient connection. Unlike load balancing, true bonding aggregates bandwidth across all links simultaneously — every session benefits from the full combined pipe.
Failover switches to a backup link when the primary fails — you lose connectivity during the switch. Load balancing routes different sessions to different links — each connection is still limited to one link's bandwidth. MPTCP bonding is fundamentally different: all links carry all traffic simultaneously. Every connection gets the full combined bandwidth, and failover is invisible — sub-second with no session drops.
We build our own purpose-designed bonding appliances: the RE-2000 Compact (fanless aluminum, Intel N150, 4x 2.5GbE, up to 3 WANs) for small offices and field kits, and the RE-4000 Professional (fanless rugged aluminum, Intel i3, 6x 2.5GbE, up to 5 WANs) for fire camps and heavy industrial environments. Both run OpenMPTCProuter and terminate to our managed VPS infrastructure.
For wildfire and emergency situations, we can have a fully bonded system operational within hours of dispatch from Central Oregon. Standard planned deployments are typically completed within 1–3 business days of equipment availability confirmation.
Pricing depends on WAN count, hardware model, managed service level, and deployment location. We don't publish one-size-fits-all pricing because every deployment is different. Contact us for a free consultation — we'll scope your actual needs and give you a real quote, not a ballpark.
