What Walkie Talkie Malaysia does

Walkie Talkie Malaysia, the trading brand of Octogen Resources Sdn Bhd, is a Malaysian B2B supplier and renter of professional two-way radio equipment operating since 2017. The company supplies, programs, rents, and repairs radios across more than 10 brands including Motorola, Hytera, Kenwood, Swiftcom, D'Call, Yaesu, Icom, and Belfone, with authorized partnership status held with Motorola and Hytera. Its technology stack spans analog business-band radios (400–480 MHz), digital DMR systems, MOTOTRBO repeater infrastructure, Push-to-Talk-over-Cellular (PoC) devices for nationwide coverage, and ATEX/intrinsically safe radios for hazardous environments, supported by an in-house programming desk offering channel planning, CTCSS tone mapping, fleet profile configuration, and site coverage analysis.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model: one-time hardware sales (radios, repeaters ranging RM1,200–RM32,000, and accessories), short-to-long-term rentals starting at RM5 per unit per day with a fleet of 200+ units, and professional services for programming, tuning, and reconditioning. Go-to-market is sales-led, with quote-based pricing, WhatsApp-based consultation, and same-day pickup/delivery in central Malaysia. The company runs six offices spanning Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, and multiple Penang locations, serving verticals that include events and exhibitions, construction sites, security patrols, hotels and resorts, warehouse and logistics, nationwide fleet operations, and industrial/hazardous sites. Equipment carries SIRIM and MCMC regulatory approvals, positioning the firm as a compliance-oriented specialist competing against generic online marketplace sellers.
