Stone Security, a BearCom Company, Named SDM Systems Integrator of the Year Again

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 08, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Stone Security, a BearCom company, has been named SDM Magazine’s 2026 Systems Integrator of the Year, a prestigious honor that recognizes the company’s success, innovation, and impact on the security integration industry. Established in 2004, SDM’s Systems Integrator of the Year award has been a hallmark of excellence, and this marks Stone’s second win, following its first in 2020. This achievement places Stone among an elite group of companies to receive the award twice.

The recognition reflects Stone Security’s accomplishments and also highlights the expanded capabilities the company can now bring to its customers as part of the BearCom family. Brent Edmunds, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Security at BearCom and co-founder of Stone Security, expressed the significance of this award.

Stone Security combines its enterprise physical security expertise with BearCom’s nationwide critical communications capabilities, creating a differentiated platform for customers that need more than individual security or communications technologies. Together, BearCom and Stone can help customers connect detection, communication, and response across their operations and organizations. This means that Stone’s over 30,000 customers can increasingly turn to BearCom for a broader range of critical technology needs, including video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, mobile surveillance, two-way radio and push-to-talk communications, in-building coverage, BDA/DAS, private wireless networks, coordinated detection and response, and emergency notification systems.

The combination of security and communications is already creating new opportunities for customers. StoneConnect™ brings video surveillance, access control, and other security systems together into coordinated workflows. LMRConnect™, a patent-pending integration, takes that concept further by connecting physical security events directly to land mobile radio networks. For example, a forced door, video analytic event, or other alarm can automatically generate a specific spoken message, including the location and event type, and deliver it directly to the appropriate radio channel.

The result is a more connected path from detection to communication to response, helping organizations get critical information to the right people when it matters most.

BearCom serves a wide range of industries, including data centers, manufacturing, utilities, transportation and logistics, healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, construction, government, and public safety. Each solution is tailored to the environment’s operational demands, regulatory requirements, and risk profile. Customers can purchase integrated solutions for permanent operations or rent communications and security equipment for live events, construction projects, and industrial turnarounds, with expert planning, rapid deployment, and responsive on-site service. As Motorola Solutions’ largest partner, BearCom also maintains a top 5 strategic partner position with Milestone, Honeywell / LenelS2, and Axis Communications, pairing proven technologies with deep integration expertise.

For BearCom’s over 30,000 customers, this expanded capability represents a fundamental advantage: one national partner with the local expertise and infrastructure to help connect the technologies that keep people, facilities, and operations secure, connected, and responsive.
