If you have used, surplus or decommissioned Ericsson Baseband 6630 or Baseband 6648 units, you can sell them to Telecombts. We buy working units removed from site, spare stock from rollout projects and new units still in original packaging, in any lot size. Send us your list through our sell your equipment form, we review it and send you an offer. This guide explains which Ericsson baseband units we buy, how to identify them, and what information gets you a faster, more accurate quote.
Why Ericsson baseband units are worth selling
Baseband units are the core of every Ericsson RAN site. When operators consolidate sites, move to newer RAN Compute hardware or replace a vendor during a network swap, large numbers of 19-inch baseband units come off the racks. Many of them are still fully functional and are in demand by operators and maintenance companies that run the same platform and need spares or capacity for expansion.
Keeping these units in a warehouse ties up space and capital, and scrapping them throws away equipment that other networks can still use. Selling them to a specialist buyer turns surplus hardware into cash and keeps working equipment in service.
Ericsson baseband models we buy
Our main interest is the 19-inch, 1U Ericsson baseband family used in modern multi-standard RAN sites. The table below summarises the models we buy and the details that help us identify them.
| Model | What it is | Details to send |
|---|---|---|
| Baseband 6630 | 19-inch, 1U mixed-mode baseband that can run GSM, WCDMA, LTE and IoT on one unit | KDU product number (e.g. KDU 137 848/11), revision (R-state), quantity, condition, fan unit included or not |
| Baseband 6648 | 19-inch, 1U baseband with 12 CPRI/eCPRI ports and a removable fan tray | KDU product number, R-state, quantity, condition, fan tray included or not |
| Baseband 6631 | 19-inch baseband from the same generation as the 6630 | KDU product number, R-state, quantity, condition |
| RAN Processor 6651 | Ericsson RAN Compute processor used in newer 4G/5G sites | Product number, R-state, quantity, condition |
We also buy Ericsson radio units such as the Radio 2219, 4415, 4428 and 4429. If your lot mixes basebands and radios, include everything on one list. You can see the Ericsson models we work with on our Ericsson products page.
How to identify your Ericsson baseband units
Every Ericsson baseband carries a product label with the product name, the KDU product number, the revision (R-state, such as R2C or R2D) and a serial number. The KDU number is the most important detail, because different product numbers can share a similar product name. For example, the Baseband 6630 is commonly found with the product number KDU 137 848/11.
When you prepare your list, please:
- Read the product number and R-state directly from the label instead of from an old inventory spreadsheet.
- Take a clear photo of the label on at least one unit of each model.
- Note whether the fan unit or fan tray is still fitted. A complete unit is easier to place than one with missing parts.
- Separate units removed from live sites from new-in-box spares, because they are offered on different terms.
What information to send for a quote
The more complete your list, the more accurate our offer. A good equipment list for Ericsson basebands includes:
- Model and product number – for example Baseband 6630, KDU 137 848/11.
- Quantity – per product number, not just per model name.
- Condition – working units removed from site, tested spares, or new in original packaging.
- Completeness – fan tray, mounting brackets and any accessories included.
- Location – country and city where the equipment is stored.
- Photos – one photo of the label and one of the unit overall for each model.
A simple spreadsheet or even a photo of a packing list is fine. Submit it through our equipment buyback page or send it on WhatsApp.
How the buyback process works
1. Send your list
Share the model, product number, quantity, condition and location. We review the list and ask follow-up questions if any detail is unclear.
2. Receive our offer
We send you an offer based on the models, condition, completeness and quantity of your lot.
3. Close the deal with our local agent
In most countries the deal can be closed face to face with our local agent, who also takes care of shipping. For large lots, the agent can arrange collection directly from site or from your warehouse.
Common situations where we buy Ericsson basebands
- Network swap or modernisation: Baseband 6630 and 6648 units removed when an operator moves to newer RAN Compute hardware or changes vendor.
- Site consolidation: basebands freed up when sites are merged or shut down.
- Project leftovers: new spares remaining after a rollout, often still in original Ericsson packaging.
- Contractor and trader stock: mixed lots of Ericsson basebands and radios held in a warehouse.

Tips to get the most from your sale
- Keep units complete. Leave the fan tray fitted and keep the labels intact.
- Store units dry and protected. Moisture, corrosion and physical damage reduce what a unit is worth to the next user.
- Do not split lots unnecessarily. Listing all your Ericsson basebands and radios together makes it simpler to agree one deal.
- Be accurate about condition. Clear information avoids surprises when the agent checks the equipment.
