I am working with a client right now that needs a 30Mbps private network to Asia. They have a collocation facility in the US that will connect via this circuit to a collo facility in Hong Kong.
When businesses select collo facilities, they rarely think about proximity to a telecom hotel. Why, you ask? Because the local loop between the carrier and the collo facility is a significant part of your network cost. For this example, the circuit cost came in at $8,200/mo, in large part, because of the local loop cost.
If the client used a collo facility that was also a telecom hotel, the cost went down to $3,850/mo, a difference of $53,200/year! The same logic applies to selecting new office locations: consider your local loop costs.
An independent consulting firm like SD-WAN-Experts can help you make the right decisions so that your long term objective are considered for your business.
