💡What is the 70/30 TCO or Total Cost of Ownership Rule?

The 70/30 is a planning principle suggesting that the OUTRIGHT PURCHASE of your equipment may account for only around 30% of its total lifecycle cost.

The remaining cost comes from deploying, operating, supporting, and maintaining it throughout its useful life.

Ano ibig sabihin nito? 🤔

This means na just because binili mo ng cash or outright purchase ang isang device, tapos na ang gastos mo dito. HINDI GANUN.

Example:

Bumili ka ng router for ₱1M. Following the 70/30 TCO principle, yang ₱1M na pinambili mo ay maaaring 30% lang ng kabuuang gastos habang ginagamit mo ang device/equipment.

May mga susunod pang gastos gaya ng:

💸 Delivery, installation, configuration, and migration
💸 Certified engineers (taga-kalikot)
💸 Non-certified engineers (taga-bantay)
💸 Power, cooling, optics, and rack space
💸 Spares and replacement
💸 Lost revenue and business impact kapat downtime. (not to mention ang katakot-takot na reklamong aabutin mo sa subs)
💸 Opportunity cost dahil nagamit mo na yung ₱1M na magagamit mo sana sa ibang investment opportunities.

Hindi literal na laging 30% and 70%. The point is:

ANG PRESYO NG BINILI MO ANG UNANG GASTOS — PERO HINDI PA YUN ANG BUONG GASTOS

Kaya si 1WAN ay nag-ooffer ng SUBSCRIPTION-BASED INFRASTRUCTURE MODEL or mas kilala sa tawag na "RENT-TO-OWN" model para mas predictable at fixed ang binabayaran mo na monthly.

Andito na ang:

✅ On-site delivery, installation, configuration, migration
✅ Network assessment and proper sizing
✅ Deployment, analysis, reporting
✅ Troubleshooting (remote and on-site if necessary)
✅ Knowledge transfer and training
✅ Vendor-certified engineers
✅ 24/7 proactive NOC monitoring and management using AI-driven tech
✅ Dedicated support (Kahit alas-tres ng madaling araw, may maghehello sayo)
✅ Equipment maintenance and replacement
✅ Eventual ownership of device at the end of the term

Nakatipid ka na sa gastos, naisalba mo pa ang sarili mo sa sakit ng ulo. 😖

The 70/30 split is a TCO rule of thumb, not a fixed formula. Actual lifecycle cost depends on the equipment, network architecture, support requirements, and operating environment.

📡 VAS provider ka na. So, ano ang ibig sabihin ng DTIP para sakin? 🤔

Simula ng maipasa ang KONEKTADONG PINOY ACT (RA 12234), mas madalas na nating naririnig ang salitang DTIP or DATA TRANSMISSION INDUSTRY PARTICIPANT.

So, what is it really about? Questions like:
"Kung VAS registered na kami, kailangan pa ba namin mag DTIP?"

Short answer:
Not immediately.

Sa ilalim ng transition provisions ng batas, ang mga existing NTC authorizations are recognized under the new framework.

🛜 VAS — Tumutukoy sa SERVICES na pnoprovide ng ISP.

🌐 DTIP — Tumutukoy sa partisipasyon ng ISP sa DATA TRANSMISSION INDUSTRY. Maaari ka mag-operate, manage, lease, and run an entire network to transmit data.

VAS providers are considered DTIPs already to the extent that they engage in data transmission services.

So is DTIP better than VAS?

Not necessarily.

It still depends on your business model and long-term plans as an ISP.

Kung ang goal ay magprovide lang ng internet service, your current setup might be enough.

But if your goal is to EXPAND, put up your own TRANSPORT NETWORK, invest in wider infrastructure, or be a part of a much larger digital ecosystem in the country, magandang maintindihan kung ano ang DTIP and how it affects your business.

So the better question is...

"What role do I want my ISP to play in terms of the future of INTERNET CONNECTIVITY in the Philippines?"

💬Are you registered VAS or DTIP? Ano ang advantages and disadvantages?

🌐 What is the JUNIPER MX104 — at para kanino ito? 🤔

The MX104 is a CARRIER-GRADE edge and aggregation router that can support multiple roles. It is arguably one of the most natural upgrade paths for regional ISPs na gustong mag-scale but their existing enterprise-grade platform is no longer practical.

This doesn't mean na hindi gagana ang existing router. Pero when growth starts to require more devices, workload splitting, and repeated workarounds, it may be time to move to a platform built for SERVICE-PROVIDER networks or CENTRAL-OFFICE optimized infrastructure.

The MX104 provides up to 80 Gbps of system throughput, four built-in 10GbeE ports, module interface options, and hardware redundancy when fully configured.

What can change after deployment?

🚀 First few days: More consistent forwarding, cleaner resource utilization, and better network visibility.

⚙ Following weeks: Routing, failover, QoS, and traffic policies can be optimized using actual network data.

📈 Following months: More headroom for additional traffic, upstream, IX connections, services, and expansion.

When will you need to upgrade again?

Consider a larger MX platform such as the MX240 when the network approaches the 104's engineered capacity, requires native 100GbE, or needs greater subscriber, routing, service, and port scale.

⚠ DISCLAIMER: Actual performance and improvements will depend on the existing infrastructure, traffic profile, deployed services, configuration, and migration design. Proper network assessment and sizing is very much encouraged to determine whether the MX104 or a different model is the right fit for your use case.

💡1WAN helps ISPs upgrade to the JUNIPER MX platform without the heavy upfront investment — complete with deployment assistance and ongoing NOC support through predictable monthly arrangements.

📡 Naalala mo pa ba? 🥹

Bago nagkaroon ng NOC, multiple upstreams at monitoring dashboards… nagsimula muna sa isang pangarap.

Isang connection, isang antenna, at kapitbahay na nagtanong:

“Chief, pwede rin ba kami makikabit?” 😄

Malayo na ang narating ng mga REGIONAL ISPs. Mula sa simpleng pakabit-kabit, tapos naging PISOWIFI. Ngayon, isa ng ganap na ISP na nagseserbisyo sa kani-kanilang komunidad. 🌐

So saan na ang tungo natin ngayon? 🛣🤔

Kapag handa na kayo para sa susunod na yugto, let 1WAN help you build what’s next. 🚀

Kayo, paano nagsimula ang ISP ninyo? 😉

🌐 Alam mo ba na at some point, you WILL need to upgrade to a carrier-grade platform?

📅 Maybe not today. Maybe not even next month. Baka nga hindi pa sa isang taon.

Pero hangga't nasa puso mo ang lumago at lumaki ang iyong ISP, darating ang panahon na hindi na sasapat ang platform na nagdala sayo kung nasaan ka ngayon.

As your network grows, hindi lang subscribers ang dadagdag.

📈 Mas mataas na traffic
🌐 Multiple upstreams and IX connections
⚙ Multiple and more advanced services
🔗 More complex configurations and dependencies
🚨 Greater impact when something fails

Pwede naman magdagdag lang ng magdagdag ng router. Split workloads, and create workarounds. But let's be honest, it is NOT sustainable. 🙅

That's why moving to a carrier-grade shouldn't be treated as an emergency response. It should be part of your LONG-TERM GROWTH STRATEGY. 🚀

Unless wala kang growth plans and masaya ka na sa 500 subs. 🤦‍♂️

🤔 How to make your network more resilient — even with SMB-grade infrastructure?

🌐 Not ready for carrier-grade yet? You can still make your network more resilient.

Network resilience isn't just about having the most powerful router. It's about how well your network continues operating — or how quickly it recovers — when something fails. 🔧⚙

Even with SMB-grade or enterprise-grade equipment, you can improve resilience through:

🔁 Redundant upstream connections
⚡ Automatic failover
🧩 Separation of critical network functions
📊 Proactive monitoring and alerts
💾 Updated configuration backups
🔋 Backup power for critical equipment
🧪 Regular failover and recovery testing

These measures can help keep your network running — or recover faster when something fails.

Pero habang lumalaki ang subscriber base, traffic, and network complexity, darating sa punto na hindi na sapat ang pagdagdag ng bagong box or config config lang.

Workarounds can only do so much. It may help manage today's limitations, but they shouldn't become a permanent network strategy.

Learn to recognize when your current infrastructure has reached its limits because resilience may start with good design. But sustainable growth will eventually require infrastructure built for the job.
