Economical Upgrades: Save Money to Make Money

What if you could save up to 50 percent the cost of full network upgrade and still get the needed bandwidth to provide the value-added services that bring in more revenue? An economical network upgrade gives you just this as well as saves you time to service as it preserves much of the existing infrastructure.

Perhaps you are considering adding 20 more HD channels or changing your HSD from DOCSIS 1.0 or 2.0 to DOCSIS 3.0, but all your bandwidth is used up. Your system is at 450, 550 MHz and or possibly 750 MHz. In order to get what you need, the existing electronics can be upgraded to deliver an additional 100 or 250 MHz: saving you money by reusing.

In this example, an economical upgrade saved time and money as the existing amplifier housings were reused and the existing electronics were upgraded instead of re-splicing and replacing all electronics.

Custom solution engineering is the only way an economical upgrade is possible. Custom solution engineering identifies various optimum solutions to fit your unique network and your top priorities- cost, performance and future upgrade flexibility.

Carefully documenting your goals, objectives and concerns is the first step to a custom solution. Then, network engineers go to the field and examine your network. They check its performance and capabilities. Once the site survey and evaluation is complete, the information gathered is used to offer several bandwidth options to fit your budget and bandwidth needs. These options are broken down by budgetary cost estimates and post-upgrade performance specifications.

Even though you may feel intense pressure to provide the value-added services, but don’t have the means to squeeze the cost of a network upgrade, it is still possible with an economical upgrade.
