Sustainable Network Lifecycle Solutions
Extend the value of telecom infrastructure while reducing cost and environmental impact. In partnership with PICS Telecom, Concilium provides sustainable network lifecycle solutions that support equipment reuse, refurbishment, asset recovery, network deinstallation and responsible recycling, helping operators manage network assets more efficiently throughout their lifecycle.
About Sustainable Network Lifecycle Solutions
Telecom network changes can leave operators with surplus, legacy or decommissioned equipment that still holds operational or financial value. At the same time, organisations need cost-effective options for expanding, replacing or maintaining existing network infrastructure.
In partnership with PICS Telecom, Concilium provides an alternative approach to network lifecycle management. Equipment can be recovered, evaluated, reused, resold, refurbished or responsibly recycled, helping organisations maximise the value of existing assets while supporting sustainability and ESG objectives.
PICS Telecom brings more than three decades of experience in telecom asset recovery and lifecycle management, with vendor-agnostic capabilities supporting equipment from major global manufacturers.
Why Sustainable Network Lifecycle Management?
Network sustainability is not only about recycling equipment at end of life. It is about making better use of network assets throughout their operational lifecycle. By combining equipment reuse, refurbishment, asset recovery, responsible recycling and alternative technology options, organisations can reduce unnecessary expenditure and waste while continuing to meet their network requirements.
Reuse, Resale And Refurbishment
Access tested and certified telecom equipment from established OEMs including Cisco, Nokia, Juniper, Ciena, Ericsson and Infinera.
Reuse and refurbishment provide an alternative to purchasing new equipment when organisations need to expand existing infrastructure, replace legacy components or maintain networks where original equipment may no longer be readily available.
Applications
- Network expansion
- Legacy equipment replacement
- Spare and replacement equipment
- Network maintenance
- Infrastructure upgrades
- Extending existing network investments
Network Deinstallation And Asset Recovery
Recover Value from Retired Network Infrastructure
Network modernisation often requires existing equipment to be safely removed before infrastructure can be replaced or upgraded.
Through PICS Telecom, Concilium supports vendor-agnostic network deinstallation and asset recovery across central offices, data centres and edge environments. Projects are managed with consideration for operational continuity, safety and the future value of recovered assets.
Recovered equipment can then be assessed for reuse, resale, refurbishment or responsible recycling, helping organisations avoid unnecessarily treating valuable network assets as
Responsible Recycling
Supporting a More Circular Telecom Lifecycle
When telecom equipment can no longer be reused or resold, responsible recycling provides a controlled route for end-of-life assets.
PICS Telecom uses R2v3-certified recycling processes, supporting responsible management of electronic equipment and materials while helping organisations meet sustainability and ESG requirements.
This lifecycle approach prioritises:
Reuse → Resale → Refurbishment → Recycling
Rather than automatically sending decommissioned equipment into the waste stream.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are sustainable network lifecycle solutions?
Sustainable network lifecycle solutions help organisations manage telecom equipment throughout its operational life, from equipment supply and reuse through to deinstallation, asset recovery, refurbishment, resale and responsible recycling.
Does Concilium provide refurbished telecom equipment?
Yes. In partnership with PICS Telecom, Concilium provides access to tested and certified refurbished telecom equipment from established global OEMs. This can provide a cost-effective option for network expansion, replacement and maintenance requirements.
How does telecom equipment recycling support sustainability and ESG objectives?
Responsible reuse and recycling can reduce electronic waste and improve the management of end-of-life network assets. PICS Telecom uses R2v3-certified recycling processes to support responsible handling and greater transparency throughout the asset lifecycle.
Can legacy telecom equipment be reused instead of replaced?
Depending on its condition, compatibility and network requirements, existing telecom equipment may be suitable for reuse, resale or refurbishment. PICS Telecom’s lifecycle approach helps organisations identify opportunities to recover value from network assets before considering recycling.
Does Concilium provide telecom network deinstallation and asset recovery services?
Through our partnership with PICS Telecom, we can support vendor-agnostic network deinstallation and asset recovery across central offices, data centres and edge environments, with recovered assets evaluated for potential reuse, resale, refurbishment or responsible recycling.
Which telecom equipment manufacturers are supported?
The portfolio includes new and refurbished equipment across major telecom OEMs, including Cisco, Nokia, Juniper, Ciena, Ericsson and Infinera. Availability will depend on specific equipment and network requirements.
