1. We want your Nortel 1140E phones!

    10/24/2012 by Jake S

    How does CXtec provide the best value with our equal2new equipment? The equation is simple. We buy quality hardware from end-users; certify it as equal2new using the industry’s finest refurbishing process, then sell it at fantastic discounts off list to our customers.

    Simple right? It is, but it mandates that the first step in the process is really the most important. It’s imperative we get our hands on quality used networking equipment and phones, so that we can relay that value on to our customers. That’s why we pay top dollar for all the used networking hardware we buy.

  2. Put an End to Those “Oops, I Forgot” Blues

    10/01/2012 by Jake S

    Here’s a message for all those IT professionals working in the education sector. How many times has this happened to you? You spend the spring and summer gearing up for those huge projects you had planned while the students are out. You do your research, you do your buying, you carry out your plan and everything goes off smoothly.

    But then the students arrive back and you realize you’re a bit short on the technology you implemented. You need an extra couple switches, a few more wireless access points here and there, some more phones, the cabling to hook it all up…

    It’s not a pleasant scenario. You did your research and spending based on the assumption that you had your bases covered. Now you have to come up with a little more budget money to get your technology platform where it needs to be. What do you do?

    No Need to Panic

    Take a bit of advice from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and don’t panic! Now is the time to put into action the best trump card you have in your hand – pre-owned networking and voice hardware!

    At CXtec, we’re helping customers in this predicament all the time. And it’s usually right around late September/early October when they realize they have a problem. Education IT professionals this time of year are always looking for quality used networking hardware at a great price to help them get the capacity they need.

    The good news is if you choose the right vendor, you can get stellar quality refurbished networking equipment you can rely on, at a price that will make you breathe a sigh of relief.

    A Life Vest for Less

    CXtec’s own equal2new certified pre-owned hardware is backed by a lifetime warranty with first year advance replacement and a 99.51% reliability rating, but it’s still up to 90% off list price. So you get quality you can trust, at the price you can fit into your budget.

    In fact, we’re running great deals on our already low prices for equipment such as:

    And this just scratches the surface of the great deals we’re offering right now.

    The Solution is Out There

    Don’t worry if you happened to forget a little bit of technology for those projects you completed recently. Quality used network hardware is really just a phone call away, and it can be just the solution you’re seeking. Get a great product, with a great warranty, at a great price and get your network back on track.


  3. Support for Your 3Com NBX IP Phones Even After The End of Life, End of Sale, or End of Service.

    03/30/2012 by Rick P

    3Com If you are familiar with the 3Com NBX IP phone system, you know that it was declared End of Sale back in June of 2010.  That announcement covered the works – chassis, gateway modules, memory upgrades,etc.  3Com/ HP decided on this to focus on their VCX line.

    That was a while ago.  Sure, 3Com will support those products for a while after the EoS date. However, the clock is ticking, and the time is running out.

    According to 3Com NBX End of Life and Support Documents:

    • Expiration dates on service contracts have a expiration dates of no later than July 30, 2012
    • The last date to get 3Com phone support on product issues for customers with service contracts is July 30, 2012
    • The last date 3Com will replace faulty NBX hardware for customers with service contracts is July 30, 2012

    3Com NBX Phone - 3100 SeriesWhere does this leave people who currently have a 3Com NBX phone?

    What options do people have if they own NBX 1100, 2100, or 3100 series phones?

    HP/3Com would like you to choose the option of buying a new phone system.  They are investing in the VCX line. They are moving forward. They are leaving the NBX phones behind, and that is what they would like you to do, as well.

    It begs some questions. What if your NBX phones are working well for you?  What if you don’t want to buy a new phone system?  What if you don’t want to buy new phones?

    There is another option.

    3Com NBX 1102 PhonesCompanies like CXtec can help. We specialize in extending product life cycles. We like to offer customers solutions that work at the pace of their business, not the pace of the manufacturers of the products they buy.

    There are a few different ways we can help customers with 3Com NBX phone systems.

    • We offer top quality pre-owned 3Com NBX phone hardware at a fraction of the cost of new phones.
    • We offer a reliability rating so high that it matches or beats manufacturer new hardware reliability.
    • We offer a lifetime warranty, just so you have a rock solid plan B.

    Maybe you want to continue adding phones. Maybe you want spares or replacements.
    You can still find 3Com NBX Phones. You can buy 3Com NBX Phones.

  5. National Guard Bureau Joint C4I Conference 2011

    10/24/2011 by admin

    We’re off to the National Guard Bureau’s (NGB) 11th Annual Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (JC4I) Conference next week. The theme of this year’s event is “IT and Intel: Blazing into the Information Future.”

    “Blazing into the Information Future” could mean a lot of things, but we got to thinking about what it means for CXtec customers.
