Current Technology. Predictable Payments. No Capital Outlay.
Long-term leasing programs for radio equipment. Avoid capital outlay while keeping your team connected with current-generation technology.
Overview
A 200-radio deployment with repeater infrastructure can cost $150,000 or more upfront. For many organizations, that capital expenditure requires board approval, a full budget cycle, and months of procurement delay. Meanwhile, the team communicates on aging equipment that is more expensive to maintain than to replace.
VEI's equipment leasing programs put current-generation Kenwood and Tait radio systems into service today with predictable monthly payments over 24, 36, or 60 months. You deploy the right equipment for the job without the capital barrier. The organization keeps cash on hand. The team gets radios that work.
Leasing also solves a problem that purchases do not: technology refresh. Radio technology changes. Digital protocols improve. Features like GPS tracking, Bluetooth, and man-down alerts that were optional add-ons five years ago are now standard. When you purchase a system, you run it until it fails or until the capital is available to replace it. With a lease, you upgrade at the end of the term as a planned event, not a crisis response. Every lease includes programming, deployment support, and standard warranty coverage. Pair it with a maintenance plan and you have a fully managed communication system for a single monthly line item.
Everything This Service Covers
Flexible Lease Terms
Choose 24, 36, or 60 month lease terms based on your organization's budget cycle and technology refresh expectations. Shorter terms give you more frequent upgrade opportunities. Longer terms lower the monthly payment. We work with leasing partners to find the best rate for your organization's credit profile.
Current-Generation Equipment
Leased equipment is current-generation radio systems from the brands we carry, the same equipment we sell outright. There is no second-tier leasing inventory. You get the same consultation, the same equipment recommendation process, and the same quality as a purchase customer, with a different payment structure.
Programming & Deployment Included
Every leased system is programmed and deployed by VEI technicians the same way a purchased system is. Channel plans, talk groups, encryption, and user profiles are configured before equipment reaches your location. Your team goes live on day one without a self-setup phase.
Warranty Coverage
All leased equipment carries the manufacturer warranty for the duration of the warranty period. For equipment that exceeds the manufacturer warranty term within the lease, VEI maintenance plan pricing is available. You are not responsible for manufacturing defects in leased equipment.
Technology Refresh at Term End
At the end of your lease term, you choose: upgrade to new equipment on a new lease, extend the current lease if the equipment still serves your needs, or purchase the equipment at fair market value. Upgrading at term end is a planned budget event with predictable timing, not an emergency response to equipment failure.
Bundled with Maintenance
Adding a VEI maintenance plan to your lease creates a single monthly payment covering equipment, support, firmware updates, and repair priority. For organizations that want fully managed communication without capital outlay or operational management overhead, the lease plus maintenance bundle delivers that in one line item.
