Replacing a legacy telecom system or IT network?
TXO is passionate about supporting ageing and end-of-life networks. But at the same time, we recognise there are many good reasons for replacing legacy telecom systems and other IT assets. Whether you need to upgrade network switches at a remote site, replace a wireless network to address exploding traffic volumes or implement the latest fixed line infrastructure to improve efficiency, contending with legacy technologies is one of the biggest obstacles you can face. There are numerous IT asset disposal (ITAD) service providers out there that can help you, but it’s vital you work with a certified one like TXO Systems.

Why ITAD service providers are necessary:
- Dealing with old network equipment can be a daunting responsibility. Just because something becomes outdated and needs to be replaced doesn’t mean that security is no longer an issue. It is important that decommissioning and disposal procedures do not inadvertently compromise information or networks.
- Added to this, because the network is the underlying component behind a telco’s core functions, you may be reluctant to remove old network equipment since it has the potential to cause downtime. But if you’ve done a phased migration, there’s rarely a compelling reason to keep old gear around as a fallback.
- The problem with failing to remove old telecom and IT assets is that legacy pieces of equipment can continue consuming power and hang around for years unused, taking up expensive rack space and potentially depreciating in value.
- Often people intend to keep legacy telecom equipment around for a week or two, just in case the new infrastructure doesn’t work as planned. But then you get busy with other projects and the task of dealing with the surplus assets gets sidelined.
- Many companies will house decommissioned equipment in a storage room or unit rather than getting it properly data cleansed, resold, destroyed or recycled. This can be a major security gap that can be exploited by anyone who is able to gain access to those spaces.
- Compounding these issues, it’s not at all uncommon to lose track of legacy equipment and fail to have a proper and up-to-date inventory.
