At Comtek, we are experiencing a sustained increase in demand for refurbished SIAE microwave radio equipment, including SIAE ALFOplus80HDX platforms, ODU radios, and indoor units.
We have active purchasing requirements and are engaging suppliers now to secure ongoing stock against confirmed customer demand. This demand is being driven by network expansion projects, spares strategies, and the need to extend the operational life of existing microwave radio networks while avoiding long OEM lead times.
To support this growth, we are actively seeking new suppliers, asset owners, and organisations holding surplus or decommissioned SIAE microwave radios and spares.
Why the Demand Is Increasing
SIAE microwave platforms remain widely deployed across live telecom networks. Operators are increasingly choosing refurbished SIAE equipment as a practical and commercially sound alternative to new hardware, particularly where OEM lead times are extended or platforms are approaching end of sale or end of life.
- Faster availability compared with new OEM supply
- Significant cost savings
- Proven compatibility with existing SIAE networks
- Reduced environmental impact through reuse and lifecycle extension
Refurbishment and reuse also support sustainability targets by reducing electronic waste and extending the lifecycle of critical network infrastructure.
As an established multi-vendor repair and refurbishment specialist, Comtek is actively purchasing stock to meet this growing demand.
