Rip & Replace Service
Securely Remove Risk, Recover Value, and Ensure Full Compliance
Rip & Replace Compliance—Secure, Efficient, and Fully Managed
The Rip and Replace Program is a federally funded initiative led by the U.S. government that requires telecom operators—particularly those receiving Universal Service Fund (USF) support—to remove and replace equipment from high-risk vendors such as Huawei and ZTE.
Designed to strengthen national security, the program eliminates vulnerable hardware from critical network infrastructure. However, compliance introduces significant operational challenges, including secure de-installation, data protection, responsible disposal, replacement logistics, and sustainability reporting.
TELECOMCAULIFFE—a PICS Telecom Team—delivers proven, end-to-end support to simplify this process. From secure removal through final reporting, we help operators meet regulatory requirements efficiently while minimizing disruption and maximizing value recovery.
