## Model your hybrid WAN expansion plans **and see the cost**

This interactive tool gives you market prices for WAN services based on your unique network, tailored to your specific site addresses, products, and bandwidths.

## Price your network **in a few clicks**

Powered by TeleGeography’s pricing databases with more than 5.7 million data points, WAN managers can build, analyze, and compare networks down to the smallest details.

### Build model networks

- Input your unique network, including your specific site addresses, products, and bandwidths
- Build alternative network scenarios to model changes and evaluate differences

![WAN Cost Benchmark product 3](https://www2.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WAN%20Cost%20Benchmark%20product%203.png?width=1396&height=952&name=WAN%20Cost%20Benchmark%20product%203.png)

### Analyze a network

- Understand your specific network costs by geography and technology
- Evaluate cost implications of various sourcing strategies
- Make sure the quotes you're getting from carriers match market pricing

### Compare network models

- Compare total network costs of different scenarios
- Budget for alternative network configurations, new sites, and more
- Carriers and MSPs: ensure you're responding to a network bid with accurate and winning prices

## WAN Cost Benchmark vs. competitors

##### TeleGeography’s WAN Cost Benchmark is the reliable standard for network pricing.

**![WAN Cost Benchmark vs Competitors](https://www2.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WAN%20Cost%20Benchmark%20vs%20Competitors.png?width=800&height=450&name=WAN%20Cost%20Benchmark%20vs%20Competitors.png)**

**Competitors evaluate network pricing with limited data**, since they rely on extracting pricing from clients’ existing contracts. This can skew data points for network configurations that differ from the customer samples they have on hand.

**TeleGeography uses a consistent, decades-long dataset that provides accurate comparisons across geographies and network types.** We’ve been collecting data from around the world and across hundreds of metro areas, producing robust datasets relevant to your specific network setup. We don’t require your current contract—only input your network details and you can start modeling and comparing network scenarios.

###### Testimonials

## Real users, real impacts

#### Laurence Andrews

 – Global Engineer, Cushman & Wakefield at WAN Summit London

##### “As a real estate company, we’re very good at moving offices very quickly, which makes for issues for us as an IT department. Ensuring that the network functions reliably is a real challenge. \[A WAN Cost Benchmark\] gave us confidence in our financial business case. We spent a long time with TeleGeography to understand what kinds of products are available, what other kinds of WAN solutions are available for us to move forward with.”

#### Dimitrios Voutsinas

 – Head of Network Design & Development, Thomson Reuters at WAN Summit London

##### “This is really where I think companies like TeleGeography can can help. We compared what we were paying per megabit for inter-data center connectivity, what we were paying for distribution, and what equivalent services were at the time of offering. We realized very quickly that we were pay paying up to 300 times per meg more for our inter-data center connectivity. We saved the company hundreds of millions of dollars.”
