You need to monitor ALL your equipment …

What's the real value of an alarm system? It's easy to think of alarm monitoring as just an expense … one that maybe you can live without.

If you've got an SNMP management platform that monitors most of your major communications equipment, do you really need to worry about that section of old analog radio sites in Cow County?

Absolutely. If those radios go down, it could kill service to a large section of your network. Those folks up in Cow County are your subscribers, too … and they'll switch to another carrier as fast as anyone, if you disappoint them.

And in the long run, monitoring all your sites is cheaper than keeping them invisible.

Your older sites are just as expensive to maintain as any site in your network - possibly even more expensive, given the age of the equipment. Proactive alarm monitoring will dramatically reduce your maintenance costs.

If you can monitor those sites in real time, you can find out about problems when they're simple and cheap to fix. Without monitoring, you won't find out about problems until they cause a service outage - and that usually involves thousands of dollars of equipment damage as well.
