SANTA CLARA, Calif.-Glenayre’s Wireless Access Group and Golden Eagle Credit Corp. have
teamed to lease pagers directly to the end user.
The new leasing arrangement will allow more companies to
complement the latest paging technology by eliminating the capital expenditures required today, said Glenayre. For
example, a company that could benefit from two-way paging may not be willing to purchase 100 two-way pagers, but
would implement the technology for a monthly leasing fee.
The leasing option also allows carriers to shift one of
their largest capital expenditures-pagers-off the balance sheet, and paves the way for an increase in advanced
messaging carriers and customers. Smaller carriers will be able to enter the advanced services market by leasing pagers
and reselling network time.
