first of all the transponder will wear and tear very fast. even the wire alone cost RM500 if use normal wire will cost weak signal
2nd the cost of renting the system has been gone down dramatically compare to 5 years ago.
3rd fee for the operator is very high
4th alot of ppl own the system (in KK already 2 set)
nowday rental plus operator is around 500 to 600 per race
1. computer set, printer, ink, paper all are cost let say RM100
2. operator RM100 per day 2 days RM200
remain 200 for system -20% for wire and decorder
so 160 for 20 pcs transponder
each received RM8 only
each cost 80 euro now RM 300 you need 30+ race to recover cost
let say each month 1 race you need 3 years to recover if only 1 system, if 2set 6 years and so on
so i think the price at the moment is very resonable already
Me being a businees also just wonder with full of curiosity.... may I ask a simple businessman question .......how many cycles the transponder will last and also the wire? I bet the decoder could last for years without problems with careful use.
