# What Happens If the Internet Drops? (Failsafe Mode)

**Do I Need Internet to Start?**

No. You do not need an active internet connection to start a task. Maps are stored locally on the sensor and will work in layer of Realtime operation.

 

**How Does “Failsafe” Work?**

The system is designed to ensure operation using multiple layers. The priority is:

1. **Real-time:** The sensor uses live data (if visibility is good).
2. **Satellite (Newest):** If the sensor is blinded (dust/sun), the latest satellite map is used.
3. **Satellite (Old):** Without internet, it checks for satellite maps from the last 14 days.
4. **Zone Map:** If nothing else is available, the system falls back to the historical zone map (yield potential).

**Exception:** RTK GPS requires a stable internet connection to receive correction signals.

**What Do We Use the Internet For?**

The sensor uses the internet to send maps from the sensor to the PerPlant cloud so operations can be viewed in the “Field App.”
