# Eco-Friendly Network Refresh

Services

## A Network Refresh That Doesn't Cost the Earth

Every business needs to upgrade its network to keep pace, and many also report on their environmental footprint. We can help with both.

With Cisco, we offer circular economy options that recycle, reuse and refurbish networking equipment. They either save you money or come at no cost to your business.

Key Capabilities

## Three Ways to Cut Cost and Carbon

### Cisco Customer Recycling

Cisco collects your end-of-life Cisco equipment at no cost, recycles about 99% of the components and can provide a certificate.

### Cisco Takeback and Reuse

Return end-of-use hardware, possibly earn a discount on new equipment, with secure returns and validated data wiping. Not limited to Cisco gear.

### Cisco Refresh

Remanufactured equipment at lower prices, with the same warranty and Smart Net coverage as new. We can quote new and refresh side by side.

How IPTel Helps

## Ready for Your Network Refresh?

### Tell Us What You Have

Share your current equipment and we'll check recycling and takeback options.

### Compare Pricing

We quote new and Cisco Refresh equipment so you can see the difference.

### Swap in One Deal

New equipment in, old equipment safely removed.
