Rental and Managed Service Options

Through our Rental and Managed Service programs, CSE Comsource has been involved with the majority of resource sector construction projects in Australia over the past 15 years. From construction through to operations, CSE Comsource can design, supply, install and manage your communication system through our rental management program.

Whilst predominately offering two-way radio rental managed services, CSE Comsource also provides outsourced rental solutions for Wireless Broadband Networks, Satellite Equipment and Marine Communications.

CSE Comsource is one of the largest radio rental management organisations in Australia with over 10,000 radios in our fleet. Whether the requirement is for five radios for a one day event or 2000 radios for a long term Managed Service Agreement, CSE Comsource can provide custom solutions to meet your communications needs.

As illustrated in the graph on the right (click to enlarge), in a typical construction project life cycle the demand for two way radios varies greatly compared to the demand during operations when the construction is complete. For this reason, rental of the project's communication requirements provides both a flexible and cost effective option.
