Modernizing network infrastructure costs

Meter provides the financial and operating advantages of an as-a-service delivery model, with the flexibility to align with customers’ financial requirements.

Challenges of traditional network infrastructure solutions

The pricing structure for legacy networking is fragmented, expensive, and opaque - riddled with high upfront hardware costs, hidden licensing fees, and disjointed vendor relationships that create unpredictable total cost of ownership. Meter offers a more efficient alternative: a fully integrated subscription model with no upfront capital expenditure, predictable monthly costs per location, and end-to-end lifecycle management included. This model not only simplifies operations for IT teams but also unlocks powerful financial advantages for CFOs seeking to optimize spend and improve KPIs.

Key considerations

• Lower total cost of ownership: Meter’s all-in-one solution cuts costs across hardware, software, consultants, and installation —freeing internal teams to focus on higher-value projects.

• Predictability: Fixed fees with no upsells ensure aligned incentives. Continuous product updates are included, delivering future-ready performance that exceeds expectations.

• Cash Flow: Subscription pricing avoids large upfront costs, offering financial flexibility and smoother budgeting

• Accounting: Contracts can be structured under ASC 842, letting customers capitalize costs and improve EBITDA/FFO metrics.

Turning network infrastructure costs into strategic investments

Meter’s networking solution follows the trends of other as a services offerings that moved internally managed unpredictable CapEx into recurring outcome based services. The combination of financial and operational improvements provide a compelling ROI for companies looking to modernize their infrastructure.
