No, that’s not a typo!

As you’re probably aware, Utah Scientific Inc. offers the industry’s best warranty — an unheard-of 10-year guarantee on parts and labor for every routing switcher system we sell.

Here’s the breakdown on the billion bucks: we have just shipped a large routing switcher system to our 4,000th customer. That’s at least 4,000 large video routing systems (it’s actually a lot more, because many of our customers have several installations) over our 40 years of business, at an average price of $300,000.

If those customers had bought video routing systems from our competitors, most of whom only offer a one-year warranty, they’d be on the hook for nine years of support with a price tag of, say, 10 percent of the list price.

Mathematically speaking, 4,000 systems x $300,000 x 10% x 9 years = $1billion! Pretty impressive savings.

Would you like to save your operation several thousand dollars? Maybe it’s time to contact Utah Scientific for all of your IP, video and hybrid routing switcher and infrastructure needs.
