Repair & Refurbishment
We help you avoid unnecessary waste and expense by repairing your existing equipment.
Our specialist repair services help you extend the life of your equipment, keeping it out of landfill and saving you the cost of unnecessary replacements.
When critical telecom and network equipment fails, the first thought is often to replace it with new hardware. But this isn’t always necessary — and it certainly isn’t always cost-effective. Our expert repair services give you an alternative that restores performance and reliability without the high price tag of buying new.
Every repair extends the useful life of your existing assets, helping you get the maximum return on your original investment. By choosing repair over replacement, you not only cut costs but also reduce lead times and avoid the disruption that sourcing and installing new equipment can bring.
We follow a streamlined repair process to minimise downtime for your network.
Inventory Received
We carefully match your purchase order with the equipment received to ensure complete accuracy. Any discrepancies are promptly referred to our customer service team, who will work with you to resolve them.
Inbound Inspection
Our technicians thoroughly inspect each unit for completeness and physical damage to ensure it can be safely installed into the appropriate shelf for testing.
System Level Testing
The system is provisioned for the specific card, which is then installed. If the unit boots properly, it undergoes rigorous testing in our fully cross-connected lab using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure real-world performance. All tests run under maximum traffic or load conditions to verify optimal operation.
Repairs Carried Out
Our technicians replace any failing components and perform thorough troubleshooting and repairs to restore the unit to the manufacturer’s specifications. Each unit is then tested to ensure it meets our high standards for performance and reliability before return.
Retesting Phase
All repaired units undergo a final round of testing to verify proper operation and ensure they meet the original manufacturer’s specifications before being returned to you.
Burn-in
Each repaired unit remains in the system under load or active traffic and undergoes an overnight burn-in to ensure stable, reliable performance.
Final Testing
After the burn-in process, each unit is tested once more to detect any potential thermal issues and ensure reliable performance under real-world conditions.
Quality Inspection
An inspector will perform a random sampling of each repaired lot, checking for cosmetic condition, quality of workmanship, and retesting units to verify proper operation.
Shipping
We offer flexible shipping options, allowing you to receive your units either as a complete order once all repairs are complete or individually as each unit is ready.
