Repair of communication equipment

NACE code 95.12 covers the repair and maintenance of communication equipment, a critical industry that ensures the smooth operation of various telecommunications devices and systems. This sector plays a vital role in the broader information and communication technology (ICT) landscape, supporting businesses, households, and public services in their daily activities. As the reliance on reliable communication infrastructure continues to grow, the repair and maintenance of these essential technologies have become increasingly important.

The repair of communication equipment typically involves a multi-step process. Technicians first diagnose the issue, often using specialized testing equipment and software. They then proceed to disassemble the device, clean and inspect its components, and replace any faulty or worn-out parts. The reassembly process involves carefully reinstalling the components and ensuring the proper functioning of the equipment. In some cases, firmware or software updates may be necessary to restore the device to its optimal performance.

The repair of communication equipment requires a range of inputs, including replacement parts, specialized tools, and diagnostic software. Technicians must have access to a comprehensive inventory of spare parts, ranging from circuit boards and cables to displays and power supplies, to ensure they can quickly and effectively address a wide variety of issues. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized tools, such as soldering irons, multimeters, and computer-aided repair software, to facilitate the diagnosis and repair process.

The primary output of the repair of communication equipment industry is the restored and functioning communication devices, which can then be returned to their owners or users. These repaired devices may include smartphones, tablets, computers, routers, and other telecommunications equipment. The outputs of this industry are then consumed by a variety of other NACE codes, such as 61.10 Wired telecommunications activities, 61.20 Wireless telecommunications activities, and 62.09 Other information technology and computer service activities.
