CirCon#152: Turning Surplus Network Equipment into Value
Today’s newsletter sponsor: Globacomm
Globacomm helps telecom operators and recyclers unlock the remaining value in surplus network equipment. With operations in the UK and the Netherlands, Globacomm buys surplus and refurbished equipment, connecting hardware with buyers worldwide while helping operators reduce procurement costs through reuse.
Operators and recyclers: your surplus has resale value. Find out what your equipment is worth or explore a partnership here.
Circular Showcase: Globacomm
Every network upgrade, refresh or decommission creates surplus equipment. Much of that hardware still has useful life and commercial value, yet without the right route to market, it can remain stranded or move prematurely into recycling.
Globacomm specialises in buying and selling surplus and refurbished telecom and network equipment, helping operators, integrators and recyclers recover value from existing assets and return hardware to active global networks.
With warehouses in the UK and the Netherlands, more than 15 OEM brands stocked and the ability to source bespoke and rare telecom parts, Globacomm connects surplus supply with demand for new, refurbished, used and legacy network equipment.
Turning Surplus into Value
For operators and recyclers, Globacomm provides a route to monetise equipment they no longer need. Hardware is collected, inventoried and tested, with 100% of purchasing transactions completed within 30 days of delivery.
A Procurement Manager at a Tier 1 operator describes how equipment that would otherwise have entered its scrap programme was purchased by Globacomm, generating additional revenue before being deployed into other networks.
For procurement teams, Globacomm provides access to new, refurbished, used and legacy OEM equipment, helping businesses incorporate reuse into their sourcing strategy rather than defaulting to new.
Who Globacomm Wants to Work With
Globacomm is looking to build long-term relationships with:
✅ Telecom operators and recyclers managing surplus network equipment
✅ Procurement teams looking to lower network costs
✅ Recycling businesses looking to expand reuse and resale within their offering
