The Electroline Addressable System permits cable system operators to instantly connect/disconnect subscribers and to remotely manage subscriber services. With this technology you'll prevent coffee shop disconnects, convert cable pirates into subscribers and eliminate uncompleted disconnections. Plus, you'll see dramatic reductions in truck rolls and overdue accounts - guaranteed! Here's how...

Maximizing your Network Operations to Increase Profits

1. Reducing Signal Theft and Disconnection Errors: To reduce signal theft, Electroline's addressable tap ports provide signals only when authorized by the cable operator's billing system. In addition, the system's remote operation can immediately disconnect tap ports of closed accounts to prevent disconnection errors/omissions by technicians. Services can no longer be stolen by simply connecting a loose drop cable or by removing an obvious security device.
   Revenue Increase: Converting unauthorized connections into paying subscribers represents an increase of $30 to $50/month/subscriber. With enhanced services, this value is substantially higher.
   
   Reducing Truck Rolls in High Churn Areas: The Electroline Addressable System's ability to remotely control subscriber services eliminates the task of having to roll a truck for service connections or disconnections.
   Savings: $60 to $100 per truck roll.
   
   Reducing the Costs of Servicing Subscribers in Difficult Access Areas: With the Electroline Addressable System's off-premise management, difficult access areas such as gated communities or rear easements, no longer require physical access. The extra time to gain access to this type of premise's tap is eliminated.
   Savings: $120 to $200/truck roll for extra technical staff time.
   
   Collecting Delinquent Accounts & Reducing Hook-up Waiting Periods: With its capability to interface to all CATV billing systems, the Electroline Addressable System is able to instantly disconnect delinquent accounts and to reactivate them just as easily. Plus, instant activation eliminates new customer hook-up lag times which typically takes 4 to 6 days.
   Revenue Increase: Immediate billing comes with instant connection ($30/month or $1/day/subscriber). Plus, the threat of losing customers during hook-up waiting periods is no longer an issue.
   Savings: $60 to $100 per truck roll. Truck rolls are not required to disconnect delinquent accounts.
   
   
2. Increasing your Return from Promotional Efforts: With the Electroline Addressable System's port/subscriber management, targeted marketing promotions are less costly and more effective. The operator can offer potential customers free cable service for a trial period by remotely turning on their tap ports. Each new subscriber can be immediately added to the operator's subscriber list.
   Revenue Increase: Results indicate that this type of promotional activity increases subscriber count by an average of 2% to 6%.
   Savings: $60 to $100 per truck roll. Truck rolls are not required for temporary connections/disconnections.
