REFURBISHMENT 
Our routers are designed with high-quality components and software updates for a minimum 5-year product lifetime which is longer than the average time a router is deployed in an end-user home.
This is why refurbishment of end of use routers makes perfectly good sense to many of our customers and why a return flow of units is common in the industry.

Icotera offers an in-house refurbishment service that stands out in the market by its quality. All routers are handled by a dedicated team with high product knowledge, tracking the performance of every unit, and ensuring that only products that pass all visual and technical tests are leaving the warehouse for new users.

Every time we prolong the lifetime of a router, the total cost of ownership is reduced and the planet is saved from up to 90% of the CO2 emissions of manufacturing a new product. Add to that a substantial reduction in extractions of virgin raw materials and minerals used and a substantial reduction in the amount of E-waste.

Our sales team uses the Icotera Refurbishment Calculator to promote the circular economy, optimizing price, quality and CO2 footprint.
