Once you understand the true cost of downtime, it’s easy to see that preventive measures are the key to protecting your business. Use the cost of failure calculator below to understand the value of quality optics in hard dollars, which compares average industry failure rates with Integra’s failure rate of less than .001 percent.

Fill in your estimated number of towers, quantity of optics per tower, and let the calculator do the rest! The calculator assumes a conservative optics failure rate of two percent, and that the cost of an average truck roll is $1,200. Both assumptions come directly from customer feedback; we’ve given the option to edit either based on knowledge of your own business.

Remember, these calculations don’t take into account every hard cost, nor do they include any soft costs such as erosion of business and reputation. Use these results as a starting point to perform your own internal calculations and determine your organization’s true cost of downtime.
