With the purchase of Pliant CrewCom Control Units and Radio Packs, customers can trade-in any professional wireless coms product for a rebate. The equipment eligible for trade-in can be from any professional wireless intercom manufacturer and in any age, condition, working or not, and in any frequency band.

This promotion offers customers a unique opportunity to move away from their old out-of-date wireless intercom and modernize their communications with a reduced cost upgrade to the latest intercom solutions from Pliant Technologies by getting value from their obsolete gear. Customers will receive rebates of $250 per Control Unit and $100 per Radio Pack. This promotion is only available for customers purchasing CrewCom systems through the network of Pliant’s authorized dealers, systems integrators, or distributors.”
