Salvage and Save: A Sustainable Approach to Copper Reclamation for a Tier 1 CSP in North America

A tier 1 U.S. Communications Service Provider needed to modernize its access network by addressing legacy copper infrastructure that no longer supported current or future service demand. Across multiple markets, inactive copper routes continued to drive maintenance costs and occupy ducts, poles, and pathways required for fiber construction. Our CyCuRec solution enabled structured, large-scale copper reclamation by identifying inactive assets, reducing cost, recovering value, and clearing access networks for fiber readiness and deployment.
