Rental Management Program
As a member of the Astib Group and established in 1999, Comsource International has provided fully outsourced communication services and solutions for all industry sections throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific Region. Whilst predominately a Two-Way Radio "Rental Management" company, Comsource also provides managed communication services for Wireless Broadband Networks, Satellite Equipment, and Marine Communications.
Comsource International is one of the largest radio rental management organisations in Australia with over 7,000 radios in its fleet. Whether the requirement is for 5 radios for a one day event, or 2000 radios for a long term managed contract, the Astib Group can provide custom solutions to meet your communications needs.
In a typical construction environment, the usage of two way radios varies greatly compared with the communication requirements for continued operations when the construction is complete, as can be seen in the graph. Therefore, the rental option for communication equipment is both flexible and cost effective for the project.
