DECOMMISSIONING AND REMOVAL SERVICES
As network operators add new capacity, technologies and equipment to their networks, they
often find themselves with older network elements that no longer meet their needs. Additionally,
as some operators grow through acquisition, they sometimes find themselves with duplicated
facilities that add unnecessary capital and operating expenditures. And other operators are faced
with asset disaggregation or divestiture as the result of changing business models.
With changing networks, operators must consider solutions for:
• Floor space reclamation
• Moving older equipment to low-capacity areas
• Reclaiming valuable equipment for parts and spares
• Removing obsolete equipment
• Overloaded cable racking and infrastructure
As operators look at these solutions, they must also consider a number of operational issues,
such as:
• Prevention of service disruptions
• Proper disposal or recycling of hazardous material
• Reconfiguring battery distribution fuse bays
• Fire hazard reduction
• Safety equipment and training
• Network/environment compliance
In a highly competitive environment, facility space and
equipment are no longer commodities.
To help operators reclaim space and optimize their network assets and facilities, ADC offers turnkey
services for the decommissioning and removal of all types of equipment. As a full-service systems

• Infrastructure removal

ADC also delivers documentation detailing the disposition of scrap, hazardous waste and batteries
as part of the records update.
As part of this service, ADC offers cable mining to identify unused cables and to label, organize
and protect cables that are in service. This process can significantly improve space availability
and alleviate potential service interruptions or fire hazards caused by overloaded cable racking
and infrastructure.
ADC decommissioning and removal services can help operators reduce both operation and capital
expenditures, and improve their readiness for new-technology adoption. Whether it's cable mining
to organize and protect congested offices; power plant removal as part of an extensive overhaul;
or moving legacy equipment from a high-capacity to low-capacity location, ADC helps operators
adapt their networks to current and future business needs.
If your strategic plans call for network upgrades, network optimization or asset acquisition,
disaggregation or divestiture, ADC can help you get the most out of your current assets, and
improve both network efficiency and service delivery.
