Common questions
Do I need an Ofcom licence to hire radios from Fellwave?
No. We hold an Ofcom supplier licence that covers radios we hire out for up to a year, so hired radios arrive already licensed. If you lease or buy, you need a licence in your own name and we apply for it for you.
How quickly can you deliver?
Next working day to most of mainland UK if you confirm by early afternoon. In Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire we can often deliver the same day and set up on site.
Do the radios arrive ready to use?
Yes. We programme them to your channels, charge them, label them and test them before they go out. Hire packs come with a multi-charger, earpieces and spare batteries.
What is the minimum hire period?
One day. Events tend to hire by the day, weekend or week. Sites and venues hire by the month or longer, and the weekly rate comes down the longer the hire runs.
What range do the radios have?
A licensed 5 W handheld such as the FW-400 will cover a town centre, a school site or a showground. Inside large steel-framed buildings or across a big site we add a repeater, which roughly doubles the coverage. PoC radios work over the mobile network, so there is no range limit as long as there is signal.
