With Tempest’s innovative and cost-effective eco-responsible initiatives, you can now go green without spending a lot of green. We are committed to helping you reduce the environmental impact of your network operations while saving money, by providing products with a lower carbon footprint and improving your energy efficiency. And our environmentally-friendly culture ensures that all decommissioned equipment is either redeployed profitably in the field, or consciously disposed with minimal impact.
Equipment Reclamation
Even when your old, unwanted network equipment is worth nothing to you, it can still add value to your bottom line. Here’s how to reclaim your assets with Tempest:
- Site Audit – A Tempest representative identifies and inventories all unneeded units.
- Valuation – We will consult with our various global partners to determine the current market value of your equipment.
- Decommissioning – Our technical professionals will de-install and decommission your excess network assets.
- Refurbishing – Tempest repair specialists will test, repair and reconfigure all equipment to bring it up to required standards.
- Redeployment – Our well-connected sales team becomes your extended remarketing staff—in many cases, we find a buyer before the equipment is even decommissioned!
- Revenue Sharing – Through our unique consignment program, Tempest will share the profits made from selling your assets—cash, credit or trade, it’s your choice!
