When 24/7 uptime is non-negotiable, every minute spent diagnosing router failures or parsing syslog files costs your customers revenue.
Network equipment manufacturers typically achieve 35-45% reductions in support costs through higher remote resolution rates, faster session times, and reduced escalations. AI platforms analyze telemetry in real time, guide troubleshooting workflows, and capture session knowledge to improve first-session resolution.
Support engineers spend hours parsing SNMP traps, syslog entries, and error codes across distributed network devices. Each remote session starts from scratch, searching for patterns that repeat across similar incidents.
Solutions to firmware vulnerabilities, configuration drift, and failure patterns exist in senior engineers' heads but never make it into searchable documentation. New hires lack context, repeat troubleshooting steps, and miss faster resolution paths.
Remote sessions fail not because the issue requires physical access, but because engineers lack visibility into device state, historical telemetry, or guided next steps. Each escalation adds delay, frustrates customers, and increases support costs.
Bruviti's platform analyzes telemetry streams, firmware logs, and SNMP data in real time to surface root causes before engineers manually parse files. When a support engineer opens a remote session, the system has already correlated error patterns across similar devices, identified the likely failure mode, and presented a guided troubleshooting workflow.
Every resolved session feeds back into the platform's knowledge base. The next engineer facing a similar router configuration issue or firewall vulnerability sees the exact steps that worked last time, reducing session duration and increasing first-session resolution. For network equipment OEMs, this translates directly into lower support costs per incident and higher remote resolution rates without adding headcount.
Network equipment OEMs face unique support economics: enterprise customers demand 99.999% uptime SLAs, yet remote sessions often span multiple time zones and involve distributed device populations. Each escalation delays resolution by hours or days, risking SLA penalties and customer churn.
AI-assisted remote support changes the economics by surfacing root causes faster. When a support engineer diagnoses a router failure, the platform automatically correlates firmware versions, configuration changes, and historical error patterns across the fleet. This reduces session time from hours to minutes and increases the percentage of issues resolved remotely without physical access.
Remote resolution rate is calculated as the percentage of support incidents closed without escalation or physical access. Baseline metrics before deployment, then track monthly improvements. Most network OEMs see 10-15 percentage point gains within 90 days as AI-guided workflows reduce escalations for firmware issues and configuration drift.
For a network OEM with 500 remote sessions per month averaging 2.5 hours each, a 40% reduction saves 500 engineer-hours monthly. At a fully loaded cost of $75/hour, that's $37,500 per month or $450,000 annually in direct labor savings, excluding escalation and customer satisfaction impacts.
Most network equipment OEMs observe measurable session time reductions within 30-45 days as the platform ingests telemetry and builds knowledge graphs. Remote resolution rate improvements typically emerge after 60-90 days once session-based knowledge capture reaches critical mass. Full ROI materializes within 6-9 months.
Each escalation that could have been resolved remotely carries multiple costs: extended MTTR, customer dissatisfaction, and delayed resolution. Network OEMs tracking escalation reduction typically quantify savings by multiplying avoided escalations by the average cost per escalation event, which ranges from $500-$1,500 depending on device complexity and geography.
Every remote session that resolves a firmware vulnerability or configuration issue creates a reusable troubleshooting path. The next engineer facing a similar router problem sees the exact steps that worked previously, reducing diagnostic time from hours to minutes. This compounding effect accelerates first-session resolution rates and lowers average support costs per incident over time.
