AUDIT-READY R2V3 & RIOS COMPLIANCE
ITAD for Telecom Companies & Mobile Operators
Carrier and mobile networks are retiring infrastructure faster than ever, and most of the gear coming off the floor still holds real capital. ROC Telecom recovers it with R2v3 and RIOS certified precision, sanitizes your data to NIST 800-88, and keeps the rest out of the landfill, all under a single accountable chain of custody.
ITAD company built for telecom & mobile operators
ROC Telecom is a Texas-based ITAD authority built for telecom companies and mobile operators. We specialize in retiring live network infrastructure, the routing, switching, and optical transport that carries production traffic, as a secure alternative to the generic recyclers most operators settle for.
Carrier and mobile networks retire on their own schedule: 3G and legacy sunsets, 5G transport upgrades, central-office and switching-site consolidations, and post-merger integration. Every one of those events strands high-value routing and optical gear that’s still worth real money on the secondary market. Generic recyclers shred that value into scrap. We recover it and return it as capital you can reinvest.

Why work with us?
Headquartered in San Antonio, ROC Telecom is one of a vanishingly small number of ITAD partners that handles decommissioning, asset recovery, and recycling entirely in-house, under a single accountable chain of custody. Most providers broker your equipment downstream through layer after layer of recyclers. We don't. That vertical integration lets us recover more value on your transport and core gear, and significantly offset the cost of your decom, sometimes delivering it at no charge.
- Decom that pays for itself, with cost offsets that can reach $0.
- 48-hour rapid-response decommissioning mobilization
- 3× the carbon savings of a standard ITAD through in-house dismantling
- Maximum ROI through specialized asset buybacks and direct carrier resale
- R2v3, RIOS, NIST 800-88, and ITAR certified workflows
- Per-project assay reports and serialized Certificates of Destruction
- Single accountable U.S. chain of custody, from cage to certificate

Receive serialized Certificates of Destruction and mass-balance data for Scope 3 ESG reporting. Financial returns from asset buybacks are settled rapidly to directly offset your next-cycle procurement costs.
Common questions
Yes. ROC Telecom specializes in retiring carrier and mobile operator infrastructure: routing, switching, optical transport, and core network gear, plus the data centers behind them. We recover capital through direct carrier and hyperscaler resale, and certified-recycle everything without a resale market under zero landfill.
ROC Telecom operates as a specialist resale partner with direct global relationships across major carriers, hyperscalers, and Fortune 500 networks. Sourcing end-users directly allows us to offer premium asset valuation that brokered liquidators cannot match, delivered via upfront buybacks or trade-in credits.
We specialize in high-value infrastructure including optical transport (DWDM), telecom-grade systems, and high-density line cards. Beyond full system arrays, we purchase specialized logic boards, processor cards, and SFPs/transceivers. Our expertise covers carrier-grade gear from leading manufacturers like Cisco, Ciena, Arista, Infinera, Fujitsu, Juniper, Calix, and Tellabs, as well as high-performance NVIDIA GPUs.
All data-bearing storage media processed at our R2v3-certified facility undergoes strict physical shredding or certified electronic erasure in complete alignment with NIST 800-88 standards. Every project concludes with an unbroken, serialized chain-of-custody log and official Certificates of Destruction (CoDs) for your permanent security review.
Yes. While we’re Texas-based, we deploy certified teams nationwide to handle de-racking and secure transport of network stacks, from a single telecom closet to a full central-office or data center consolidation.
As an R2v3 and RIOS certified provider, we manage all material recovery in-house rather than brokering it downstream. We supply verified mass-balance data and on-request refiner assay reports that feed directly into your corporate disclosures for Scope 3 Category 5 and Category 12 emissions reporting.
