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!
