GSMA Equipment Marketplace
Reach your financial targets and environmental goals faster by reusing, reselling and recycling network assets.
What is GSMA Equipment Marketplace?
It’s the first global digital marketplace for sourcing and reselling pre-owned network equipment – bringing together buyers and sellers from the telecommunication ecosystem.
Reuse, resell, recycle and buy
Reuse is at the core of the service, as it’s the most efficient way to source hardware. We help you to reuse as much of your own equipment as possible within your wider group, before buying externally – refurbishing and testing your hardware so it’s as good as new.
Resell what your business doesn’t need – the global online marketplace connects you to a buyer with demand for the asset.
Recycle any asset that can’t be reused – we make sure nothing goes into landfill.
Buy externally through the marketplace – all equipment is refurbished and tested by our experts, giving it a 2-year warranty.
