Equipment Deconstruction

Wave Telecom manages equipment deconstruction through a structured, hands-on approach:

• Intake and verification of retired network and telecom equipment
• Identification of components suitable for material recovery
• Controlled disassembly using appropriate tools and equipment
• Segregation of materials for downstream processing
• Documentation of deconstruction outcomes for accountability

This process allows organizations to close out retired assets with clarity while ensuring equipment is handled responsibly from start to finish.

Equipment deconstruction decisions are made with attention to data risk, handling requirements, and downstream processing. Hardware containing sensitive components is identified early and routed through appropriate destruction or deconstruction pathways to ensure secure and compliant outcomes.

Responsible End-of-Life Handling

Wave Communications, Inc. follows NIST 800-88 guidelines for secure data sanitization across all storage media, including, but not limited to, SATA and solid-state drives (SSDs). Depending on the device and security requirements, our process may include certified software-based erasure as well as physical destruction of hardware.

By adhering to the latest industry standards and best practices, Wave Communications delivers secure, compliant data sanitization designed to protect sensitive information throughout the asset disposition process 100% of the time.
