CISCO AIRONET 340 WIRELESS BRIDGE

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is useless. It still has a lot of value, and it can be convenient to keep using it if it works for your company. As long as there aren’t any major problems with the hardware or how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer by using TPM.

You may be at a time when your hardware is reaching the end of its life cycle, but your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades. You have your own business to run and you need to balance your time. Plus, you don’t want to feel rushed into a decision about new hardware. By continuing to use your existing equipment with the help of TPM, you can choose when you’re ready to upgrade. You can plan for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.

If you are working on repairing the hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the original manufacturer used. This can be a problem because the replacements may not be as good and might not work with your equipment. When you work with TPM, you have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be performing the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They have lower prices and the same skill set. Plus, you may get more services with TPM than you would from your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair in a way that creates little downtime or offer more services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with elements of both OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
