Cost of each, plus operational costs, * however many of each type. How much would that be?So, let's see. I'm pulling numbers out of my butt here, but basing it on non-quantity-discounted hardware available off the shelf. ----------------------------------------- Manpower to design, build, maintain, train folks and monitor in the NOC. Costs of EMS, its maintenance. blah, blah, blah...
My estimates are for getting something off the ground, equipment-wise, not operationally. What is the cost of the outages? And if this setup can detect un-reported backhoe activity via accelerometers BEFORE it slices through the cable and you can get someone out to investigate the activity before it gets cut, how much is that worth? And my estimate was for the hardware, not training, etc. I'm guessing existing NOCs can easily incorporate new SNMP traps or other methods of alerts into their system fairly easily.
