We partner with VIAVI, a market-leading manufacturer of network test equipment, to offer innovative ways for our customers to access intuitive, easy-to-use test solutions for complex 5G and Fiber networks. VIAVI is a company that understands the needs of their customers, putting its users at the centre of its instrument designs, and we share that approach, offering rental and financial solutions individually tailored to each customer’s unique requirements. This means you always know you have the best tools to complete the job as effectively and efficiently as possible.   

We work closely with VIAVI to offer innovative financial options that give you real flexibility and affordable access to their industry-leading tools. Long-term rental is ideal for longer, well-defined projects while short-term rental helps you manage peak demands and ad-hoc project work. For extended use, ownership might be the best option - you can spread the cost with our hire purchase options or choose Easy to Source, giving you the flexibility of rental with an option to buy at the end of the agreement.   

As well as rental and financial solutions, we offer high quality used VIAVI instruments. Our pre-owned VIAVI equipment offering is all thoroughly checked by our expert engineers through our 23-step Certified Pre-Owned equipment program and comes with a 1-year warranty and 14-day money-back guarantee.
