Sustainable Lifecycle Solutions for Cyan Network Equipment
Supporting responsible recovery and reuse across optical and software-defined networks
Cyan was known for its innovative carrier-grade network solutions and software-defined networking (SDN) platforms that helped operators simplify and scale their optical and packet infrastructures.
Today, many service providers continue to manage legacy Cyan systems or integrated Blue Planet components within their networks.
PICS Telecom supports these operators with secure, compliant, and environmentally responsible lifecycle management — helping to recover, reuse, or recycle Cyan network hardware as part of a circular economy approach.

PICS Telecom delivers structured, transparent programs for managing Cyan network assets — ensuring safe removal, maximum reuse, and zero waste to landfill.
- Vendor-agnostic deinstallation: Careful removal of Cyan optical, packet, and SDN-related hardware from live or legacy sites.
- Certified refurbishment and resale: Testing and reconditioning of Cyan equipment to return reusable assets to market.
- R2v3 recycling: Ethical, traceable recycling for non-reusable components with verified Zero Waste to Landfill results.
- Data and environmental compliance: GDPR-compliant processes and full asset traceability from collection to final processing.
