Revenue model
- Equipment Sales (Two-Way Radios & Accessories): BearCom generates revenue through the sale of two-way radios (portable, mobile, cellular push-to-talk), accessories (batteries, chargers, antennas, microphones, earpieces, headsets, carry cases), repeaters, and related hardware. Sales are direct through account executives and the company's 80+ locations. This is the largest revenue driver, supported by exclusive offerings like the BearCom BC400d.
- Airtime / Subscription Services: BearCom offers subscription-based two-way radio communication services (Airtime Service) where subscribers share radio spectrum. Subscriptions require quarterly or monthly fee payments and have an Initial Subscription Term. The service is governed by detailed airtime terms and conditions. Additional revenue comes from Motorola subscription services (MOTOTRBO Care, Evolv Concealed Weapons Detection) where BearCom acts as a reseller.
- Equipment Rentals: BearCom operates the largest two-way radio rental fleet in North America. Rental revenue is generated from events (Ryder Cup, music festivals, sporting events), with optional Rental Equipment Loss Protection (15% surcharge reduces replacement costs). The company rents video surveillance/CCTV and Private LTE alongside radios. Rental terms can be extended at BearCom's discretion.
- Security Solutions (Video Surveillance, Access Control, etc.): Revenue from integrated security systems including surveillance cameras, access control & intercom, body-worn cameras, license plate recognition (LPR), concealed weapons detection (Evolv), BDA/DAS systems, dispatch consoles, and emergency mass notifications. These are sold as integrated solutions alongside the voice and data offerings.
- Private LTE & Data Solutions: BearCom provides Private LTE network solutions, wireless backhaul, and data connectivity services. These solutions support IoT devices, surveillance systems, tablets, and PCs across large operational areas. Revenue is generated through solution design, deployment, and ongoing data/network services.
- Professional Services (System Design, Installation, Maintenance): BearCom provides system design and consulting, installation, service and repairs, preventative maintenance, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The company has 350+ certified technicians and operates the largest independently-operated radio repair facility in North America (Dallas). Service Level Agreements provide fixed-price maintenance coverage.
