MrZorbatron Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 If one wanted to get his hands on retired WiMax hardware, how would that be accomplished? My particular interest would be a couple of or a few sector antennas, not the radios themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Probably one of the outfits that will be hired for decomissioning sometime later this year or next year. Las Vegas and Portland area would be the major ones to look at since those Motorola markets will be 100% ripped out and replaced unlike the Huawei and Samsung markets which will predominately stay for a long time (Samsung) or for some time (Huawei one by one until they're all gone). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZorbatron Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Didn't know there were any Samsung WiMAX markets. I thought all Samsung WiMAX hardware was deployed as LTE from day one, just keeping WiMAX as a secondary function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubbsmark Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I work at a company called AirWay Technologies. We've been buying and selling Cell Site & Switching equipment for 20+ years. If you have specific part numbers I can run them through our database and let you know if we or any of our channel partners has any availability.

orangeblue Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm sure some of the smaller WiMax carrier arround the country will buy some of the equipment as reserve. I saw one n Mohap, UT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
