Coevolve CTO Ciaran Roche is back on the pod. He's in the hot seat to discuss how middle-mile solutions are selected to solve real-world enterprise WAN issues.
Unlike network services, SD-WAN is not a commodity, and pricing strategies are still in flux. But as the service matures, this is beginning to change.
Median price points have started to decline and the range in reported vendor prices has started to converge.
Let's unpack SD-WAN prices—starting with pricing models.

One of the earliest and most persistent use cases for SD-WAN has been the ability to utilize alternative connectivity options like the internet and fixed wireless. Our WAN Manager Survey data shows that, since 2018, MPLS has been losing ground to other wireline alternatives like DIA and broadband.
Anyone familiar with our Pricing Suite knows that São Paulo is Latin America’s de facto center for wholesale IP transit and transport, and reports the most competitive pricing in the region.
In other areas, we see that prices are falling as supply increases. Colombia is one example.
French-owned telecom group Iliad has begun the next phase of its expansion in Italy, moving into the country’s fixed broadband sector with a potentially game-changing service launch.
