The fact that over time all 2G devices will need to be replaced accounts for an obvious financial impact to replace them. An impact accounted for mainly with the cost for new equipment and truck rolls. For each month past January 1, 2012 that a dealer fails to fully adopt 3G, the financial impact of the 2G Sunset grows substantially. The reason is simple: They are installing equipment that will need to be replaced. In 2012 dealers will have two options. They can keep installing 2G and deal with the inevitable replacement costs, or they can simply install 3G and insulate themselves from them.

The Real Cost of Installing 2G		The Only Cost of Installing 3G

The sooner a security dealer switches to 3G, the more he can smooth out the sudden impact of the coming sunset, mute the effects of spectrum harvesting, and halt their growing base of 2G equipment needing inevitable replacement.

The simple statement that the more 2G devices you add the more truck rolls you have to do is easy to understand, but it doesn't allow you to easily estimate the costs of delaying a full switch to Telguard 3G products. If you are using a competitor's products and think you'll just wait around for them to offer you a 3G alternative then you should use our 2G Sunset calculator.  It will show you the real impact to your company by delaying an immediate switch to 3G.
