The Cost of Downtime

When a Fortune 500 fiber-optic equipment manufacturer wanted to save their customer money on a cable television network design, they turned to us. With Raptor they were able to evaluate network architecture alternatives and show two designs that saved money over the customer’s baseline.

The first design saved $64,000 in initial costs and, because the network was available 112 more minutes a year, produced an additional $20,000 in revenues annually. The second design was $18,000 more expensive to build, but was available a whopping 226 more revenue-producing minutes a year.

The increase in service revenue paid for the network improvements in the first year.
