Gigabit In-Line ROIGigabit In-Line ROICoverage needed for 8 Gigabit Segments
• Dedicated Network Tool: 8 Network Tools @ $25K each $25K x 8 = $200K
VS.• 1 Network Tool and an 8 Channel Resource Sharing
Switch: 1 Network Tool and 1 DSI 1x8 Gigabit Switch
$25K + $22K = $47K
$47K / 8 segments = $5,875 per network segment
Savings = 77% or $153K
