14 01001010101001010010110101010100101010100101010111101010101010101011110101000110101000 University of Michigan page 14 Infrastructure and Management (19%) Switch (maintenance and operation) Remotes Machine rooms Outside plant (copper and 225 manholes) Repair of damaged infrastructure (bear portion of full cost not marginal cost)

Hardware would have to be tossed at the end. Would free up machine room space from main switch and switch itself, removing legacy maintenance expenses. Users could move equipment easily and feature changes are software. –Would require an investment of $6M over 5 years –Net= - $920K in savings over 5 years (assumes “dedicated plant” model; most of savings is “dedicated plant”)

RFP for software solution (“softphone”) for any users who wish to use it (2,000 stations estimated) In new buildings, deploy VoIP and depending on need either: –Install VoIP sets or –Install Digital/Analog gateways and analog sets Encourage vendors to incorporate more security into VoIP solutions Encourage units to “harden” the campus infrastructure with UPS throughout campus as opportunity exists Wait for the right ROI/functionality/reliability/security combination before legacy conversion
