significantly lowering your environmental impact. The processes involved
in manufacturing products damages the environment so making use of

Having been a telecommunications equipment supplier since 2010 and with over 40 years’ combined experience in the industry, we are familiar with what helps clients sell used telecommunications equipment. In this article, you will find some useful hints and tips about why a trade buyer like Carritech might buy your equipment and most importantly, what will increase its value.
The first thing to note is that the market fluctuates. This is dependent on a number of factors, but mainly the availability of products within the market and their resale value.
Another key thing to remember is that even when your equipment is considered old, or of no use to your telecommunications network anymore (perhaps because you are acquiring a new system), it is highly likely that it will be useful to someone else. Manufacturers develop new products all the time, so you can be forgiven for thinking that your equipment is outdated and redundant within the market, but that simply isn’t true. Don’t be afraid to ask the question, even if it doesn’t have any market value, what have you got to lose?
What exactly is it?
Sometimes we will receive enquiries without much information and it can be difficult to value equipment without some key details. We have put together a basic checklist to help a buyer to better understand your products:
Look for the manufacturers name and model number of the system (usually found on the rear of the product on a sticker or label)
Quantity (have a quick count up of the separate parts of your equipment, even if this is an initial estimate)
Take some pictures! (They don’t have to look attractive, but an image will often help to distinguish the condition of the system and the model type. Remember, where possible make sure to open a system cover or door panel to reveal the internal parts, a trained eye can spot things from a photograph immediately)
Don’t forget, buyers know that not everyone is an expert when it comes to telecommunications, often it can be complicated and confusing so if you need any help just ask for a quote to be carried out and let the experts do the work for you.
Favour a buyer that offers to uninstall your equipment for you. There are usually a lot of small parts connected to telecommunications systems and these are vital for resale. Careful handling and packing will ensure your systems aren’t damaged and unsaleable. It may sound obvious, but if you have sold products which have then been damaged during the uninstallation and packing process, the buyer will no doubt ask for a refund on the products.
Finally, if your equipment is damaged or faulty, all is not lost! You can still potentially recycle it, although at Carritech we always prefer to keep products in the market to avoid unnecessary waste; and so where we can we will try and repair equipment to its original state.

Without an extremely large budget and a long period of time to replace an entire system; operators need to make use of the secondary market to ensure that their legacy telecommunications infrastructure remains operational. This article explains why the telecommunications secondary market is a great advantage when buying equipment for your business.
Telecommunications network infrastructure lasts a very long time, which is great for operators, however this will mean ensuring parts are maintained and replaced whenever necessary. Fortunately, this can be achieved at low cost by making use of the secondary market.
More and more operators are turning to secondary market resellers like Carritech for fast delivery of telecommunications equipment, knowledgeable information and installation procedures, great servicing and support and convenient disassembly of existing networks.
What are the key benefits to purchasing from the telecommunications secondary market with a company like Carritech?
Value: Purchasing used telecommunications equipment is considerably more cost effective than paying out for a total infrastructure change. This is a huge benefit for network operators who have a sudden and urgent need for a system upgrade or part replacement but may not have a substantial maintenance budget to tap in to. Great value means companies are able to purchase surplus parts from the secondary market and store them to prepare for the event of a network fault or need for a system alteration.
Availability: Manufacturer lead times are renowned for being frustrating long. Often it can take over 10 weeks for a built-to-order product to arrive with a buyer. Not only that, but manufactures will typically refresh their product line every 12-24 months and liquidate many of their older products, meaning that equipment quickly becomes redundant to the manufacturer and the availability and quality of product support diminishes as they shift their focus on to what they consider to be their more important products. Secondary market resellers like Carritech can ship products on the same day as an order is placed.
Servicing and product protection: Manufacturers will often tie an operator in to a 2 to 5-year support plan contract, which is integral to the sale. However, Significant warranties are also provided by resellers and equipment is readily taken under existing maintenance agreements where provided. That said, warranties aren’t a major factor in the telecommunications industry as equipment is extremely robust, and should always be fully tested before it is sold, meaning that in the event of a fault being detected it wouldn’t re-enter the marketplace. Due to the nature of telecommunication equipment, if the part is fully functional it will tend to stay that way for a very long time. Plus, they are able to provide a low cost alternative to manufacturers support, by utilising their knowledge of the equipment.
In conclusion, choosing to purchase your telecommunications equipment from a secondary market reseller such as Carritech will save you a significant amount of time and money, and provide you with access to a wealth of industry knowledge at a fraction of the cost.
