TWO-WAY RADIO RENTAL

Communication devices such as walkie-talkies, two-way radios are essential in many industries and activities. However, the question often arises as to whether these devices are worth buying or renting. Both options have advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to consider which is best for you.

Two-way radios for rental

In some cases, renting a walkie-talkie radio allows for a more cost-effective solution than buying one. Such cases include:

When should you rent a two-way radio?

• When you are looking for a means of communication for a short-term project or event
• When reliable devices are needed but there is insufficient budget to purchase them or for smaller businesses that do not have the capital to make a major investment
• A temporary expansion of an existing two-way radio system for periods of a few days to a few months
• For events and seasonal events, where we can dynamically expand our existing fleet of devices through transceiver rental

When should you buy a two-way transceiver radio?

• If you need the device for long-term use.
• When the business has capital to spend on the purchase and maintenance of the equipment.
• When you want to use or modify assets in a more strictly way.

In general, the decision depends on your needs and budget. In all cases, it is worth weighing the pros and cons of renting versus buying to make the best decision.

If you decide to buy a two-way radio, we are happy to help you with our range of transceivers.

The advantages of renting a two-way radio over buying one

• The cost of renting a walkie-talkie radio is fully deductible as an expense to your business
• No annual depreciation costs and no need to include the equipment in the fixed assets of the business
• Flexible planning at the cost level, only needing to be calculated over the period of actual use
• No equipment servicing and maintenance costs, as this is provided by the lessor
• You can always use state-of-the-art professional transceiver radios and accessories
• No separate radio licence and frequency usage fee is required, as this is provided by the lessor and paid directly to the NMHH by our company

We have more than 100 handheld Icom VHF and UHF band professional two-way radios in our fleet. Programmed to your requirements, you can use the two-way radios either as an extension of your existing system or as a stand-alone system.

We place great emphasis on the continuous maintenance and development of our radio equipment. The quality of our rental two-way radio headsets and handheld microphones is checked at regular intervals, just like the batteries of our two-way radios. We ensure the long life and capacity of the batteries by testing and regenerating them at specified intervals.

Questions about renting a walkie-talkie radio

• What frequencies do the walkie-talkie radios for rent operate on? Two-way radios are programmable between 136-174Mhz, UHF radios between 400-470 Mhz. By default, there are 4 so-called shared use channels in the radios that can be used during the rental. If you wish to expand your existing radio fleet with the rental transceivers, we will need to tune our rental radios to your frequency, so please always indicate this in advance when requesting a rental.
• What is the battery capacity of the radios? The handheld transceivers are equipped with a 2250mAh or 3150mAh Li-ion battery, which is capable of providing an 8-hour shift under typical usage.* If this battery capacity is expected to be insufficient, it is possible to rent a spare battery.
  * Typical usage assumes 90% standby, 5% receive and 5% transmit.
• Is it possible to rent a headset? We can provide JDI JD-130XEH5/IC-F3032/B/C for our Icom rental radios.
• How are weekend rentals charged? For weekend rentals, we charge a discounted flat rate as shown in the table above, based on Friday afternoon pick-up and Monday morning drop-off.
• Do radio sets come with a charger? When renting a transceiver, we provide a table charger for the same number of sets. If the number of radios is around 10, we provide the radios in a compact, practical case set with built-in charging stands.
• Is courier delivery possible? Of course, there is no charge for picking up the rental walkie-talkie radios at our Budapest location. On request, we can send the devices by courier service with a delivery time of 1-2 working days to Hungary.
• Is it possible to request technical supervision during the rental period? If the radios are required for an event of high priority, it is possible to request technical supervision by personal presence at the radios during the rental period.
• In addition to handheld radios, is it possible to rent a mobile radio and/or repeater for your table / car? Of course, it is also possible to rent a mobile radio or repeater, the cost of which can be calculated on an individual basis.

Benefits of buying a two-way radio system:

• One-time investment: Although there is an initial cost to purchasing a two-way radio, it can be more cost-effective in the long run than paying ongoing rental fees.
• Long-term use: If your business needs a long-term communications solution, buying is a better option because the radios remain your property and can be used at any time.
• Customizability: With a purchase, you can customize, program and modify the radios to suit your needs without facing restrictions or lease terms.
• No rental agreement: When you purchase a radio, there is no need to sign a rental agreement, which may limit the use of the device or incur extra costs.
• Retail value: When you buy a walkie-talkie radio, you have the option to sell or resell the device if you no longer need it or want to upgrade to a newer model.
• Maintenance and repair: While maintenance and repair is the responsibility of the rental company when renting a walkie-talkie, when purchasing one you have full control over the maintenance and repair of the device. This allows you to respond quickly to any problems and ensure the longevity of your equipment.

In summary, purchasing a two-way radio transceiver can be an ideal choice for those looking for a long-term, customised communications solution and want to avoid rental fees and contracts. However, it is also important to consider initial costs and responsibility for maintenance.
