When your team is spread across a venue, a job site, or a multi-day production, a phone call is too slow and a text goes unread. At Velvet Edge, our two-way radio and walkie talkie rentals give event coordinators, production crews, and security teams instant, one-touch communication from load-in to teardown. Based in Windsor and serving Essex County and Southwestern Ontario, we supply a fleet of professional-grade UHF radios built to keep your operation connected.
Our radios run on the UHF band, the frequency best suited to indoor and mixed environments where signals need to pass through walls, floors, and crowds. With four watts of transmit power, a single radio reaches across a large hall, a multi-level building, or a sprawling outdoor site without dropping out, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers well over twelve hours of use on one charge. Every rental includes a six-bay charging dock, so units cycling off shift are always ready to go back out.
Every radio arrives fully charged and pre-programmed, with four preset channels ready out of the case. We can expand to as many as sixteen channels and give your security, production, catering, and front of house each a dedicated channel. We can also section radios into custom groups, so certain units can broadcast, others listen only, or a group can stay fully isolated from the rest. Each unit is numbered or labelled to your naming convention for simple hand-out and check-in, and our team will help you map a channel plan around your event's size, layout, and staffing.
We rent by the one, two, or three day, by the week, and by the month, scaling from a handful of radios for a wedding coordination team up to twenty units for a full festival or conference. We handle delivery and pickup throughout Windsor and Essex County, along the Highway 401 corridor through London and Southwestern Ontario, and up to the Greater Toronto Area. Our radios support corporate events, conferences, and trade shows; festivals, concerts, and live performances; weddings and galas; film and television productions; construction and job sites; event security and crowd management; hospitality, retail, and warehouse operations; and sporting and municipal events. Reach out with your dates, quantities, and channel setup, and we will build a rental package that fits.
