If you have Ericsson Radio 2219, Radio 4415 or Radio 4428 units sitting in a warehouse or coming off towers, you can sell them to us rather than store or scrap them. We buy working units removed from site, surplus spares and new units still in original packaging, in any quantity. Send us a list with the model, product number (KRC), band, quantity, condition and location, and we will come back with an offer. You can submit it through our sell your equipment form.
This guide explains which Ericsson radio models we buy, why these units still have value on the secondary market, and how to prepare your lot so the quote process is quick and accurate.
Why Radio 2219, 4415 and 4428 Units Are Worth Selling
These three models belong to the Ericsson Radio System portfolio and were deployed in very large numbers for LTE and multi-standard macro sites. Many operators are now replacing them during capacity upgrades, site consolidations, vendor swaps or RAN sharing projects. The removed units are usually still fully functional, and other networks, maintenance companies and integrators use them as spares or for expansion of existing Ericsson sites.
Holding them in storage costs space and money, and value declines as the units get older and as more of the same models reach the market. Selling them while they are still in demand turns idle stock into cash and frees up warehouse space.
Radio 2219: 2T2R macro radio
The Radio 2219 is a 2T2R outdoor macro radio. According to Ericsson datasheets, it delivers up to 2 x 80 W depending on band (for example up to 2 x 60 W at 900 and 2100 MHz and up to 2 x 80 W at 1800 MHz), runs on -48 VDC and is rated IP65 for outdoor use. It was produced in many band variants, so the band marking on the label matters when you list your units.
Radio 4415: 4T4R single-band radio
The Radio 4415 is a 4T4R radio with up to 4 x 40 W output power and up to 90 MHz instantaneous bandwidth according to its datasheet. It was a common choice for operators moving LTE sites to 4×4 MIMO, which is why large quantities are now coming out of networks moving to newer multi-band radios.
Radio 4428: 4T4R single-band radio
The Radio 4428 is also a 4T4R radio with up to 4 x 40 W listed in Ericsson’s radio capabilities documentation. Like the 4415, it was widely deployed for LTE capacity layers and is often released in batches when sites are re-planned.
Ericsson Radio Units We Buy and What to Send
We buy Ericsson radio units in several conditions. The table below shows the main models covered in this article and the details that help us prepare an offer.
| Model | Configuration | Typical band markings | Details to include in your list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radio 2219 | 2T2R | B1, B3, B8, B20, B28 and other variants | KRC product number, band, quantity, condition, location |
| Radio 4415 | 4T4R | B1, B3, B7 and other variants | KRC product number, band, quantity, condition, location |
| Radio 4428 | 4T4R | B3 and other variants | KRC product number, band, quantity, condition, location |
| Other Ericsson radios (e.g. 2217, 4429) | 2T2R / 4T4R | As marked on label | Model name as shown on label plus KRC number |
We also buy Ericsson baseband units, so if your lot includes Baseband 5216, 6630 or 6648 alongside the radios, list everything together. One combined list is faster to quote than separate requests.
How to Prepare Your Ericsson Radio List
A clear list is the most important part of getting an accurate offer. Include the following for each line:
- Model name exactly as printed on the unit (for example “Radio 4415 B3”).
- Product number in KRC format, such as KRC 161 xxx/x. If you are unsure where to find it, see our guide on how to identify Ericsson radio KRC numbers.
- Band, because the same model is made in several band variants.
- Quantity per model and band.
- Condition: removed from live site and working, surplus spare, or new in original box.
- Location: country and city where the equipment is stored.
- Photos: a few clear pictures of the labels and of a sample of units, plus packaging if new.
A simple spreadsheet is fine. You do not need to test the units yourself before sending a list, but any information about how they were removed and stored helps.
What Affects the Offer for Used Ericsson Radios
Several factors shape the offer we make for a lot of Ericsson radio units:
- Band variant: some bands are in higher demand in the secondary market than others.
- Condition: new-in-box units and units removed carefully from working sites are preferred over units with damaged housings, connectors or missing covers.
- Labels: intact, readable labels with product number and serial number make units easier to resell.
- Quantity and consistency: larger lots of the same model and band are straightforward to handle.
- Location: where the equipment is stored affects logistics.
We do not publish prices, because every lot is different. The fastest way to get a real answer is to send your list.
How the Buyback Process Works
- Send your list via the sell your equipment page, WhatsApp or email.
- We review it and may ask for extra photos or details.
- We send an offer for the lot.
- Closing the deal: in most countries the deal can be completed face to face with our local agent, who also takes care of shipping. For large lots, collection from site can be arranged.
We work with telecom operators, network contractors, maintenance companies and traders. Whether you have five radios left over from a project or several hundred units from a network swap, we are interested in seeing your list.
Other Equipment We Buy
Besides Ericsson radio and baseband units, we buy surplus Huawei and Nokia equipment, including RRUs, BBUs and baseband boards, DWDM optical modules, OLT and OSN equipment. You can browse the Ericsson products we sell in our Ericsson category to see the kind of equipment we handle.
