  2. Hi Behrouz,

    Thank you for your question.
    I have passed your questions to my colleagues.
    As soon as they respond, I will inform it to you.
    As long as I know, you need to specify the number of transponders or the capacity that you want to rent and mostly they are rented for a full day.

    Regards
