ComGroup offers rental option

ComGroup now offers a rental option on its portable, two-way radio equipment. Short- and long-term renting with an option to buy is also available.

To service this, the company has launched a rental department and invested in a fleet of Simoco communications equipment.

The company is experienced with rentals, having serviced the rental requirements of companies in the event management, movie/television production, security, construction and manufacturing sectors for several years.

For the past 13 years it has supplied the entire communications system for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix.

This event requires up to 500 portable radios, accessories and associated infrastructure.

Reliability of equipment is essential, so by renting equipment, organisers guarantee they have the most up-to-date technology each year and that their area-wide coverage is secure with crisp, clear reception. They also have access to 24/7 technical support should there be any technical problems.

In addition to staying up to date with current technology, renting enables users to trial new equipment to see if it meets their needs.

Financial benefits of renting include users pay only for equipment when they need it. This may coincide with peak periods, a special project or as a backup service in response to an unexpected breakdown of other equipment.

This frees up capital that would have been spent on communications equipment to be invested in other parts of the business.

Rental costs are fully tax deductable and can be recovered at the end of the financial year.
