Grey Market and Secondary Market Enterprise Service Provider Secondary Market Assurance for Optical Networks

The industry has seen a marked reduction in carrier budgets over the past two years and this has resulted in resourcefulness in terms of making the best use of existing infrastructure, as well as being extremely careful with expenditures of limited capital dollars. This focus on reducing spending while streamlining operations has, in many cases, led to sourcing equipment on the secondary or grey market. Switching gear, transport equipment both metro and long haul, and all types of networking equipment have changed hands for financial reasons.

Nortel has put in place for your convenience and benefit secondary market programs such as Secondary Market Assurance for Optical Networks to enhance the value of these sales for the reseller, and to ensure the ongoing protection of the buyer in terms of software licensing, warranty and service agreements, and more.
