What DSPM does

DSPM (DSPM Inc.) is a U.S. Veteran-Owned manufacturer of backup power and power conversion equipment, headquartered in San Bernardino, California, and operating since 1974. The company designs, engineers, and builds its products in the United States, serving commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects domestically and internationally.

The product portfolio centers on emergency lighting inverters, UPS systems (online and standby), elevator backup power, frequency converters, 3rd rail inverters, isolation transformers, and voltage regulators. Its flagship differentiation is the Lynx Power System (LP3), a solid-state backup unit that consolidates ATS panels, distribution panels, regenerative detection modules, and load banks into a single device and recovers over 95% of energy regenerated by elevators. Complementary add-on modules include the Intelligent Battery Monitoring System (IBMS) for real-time battery health and predictive maintenance, and the Smart Output Circuit Breaker (SOCB) for building management system integration, remote load management, and IoT-enabled monitoring. All products are designed to comply with NEC, UL, and IBC standards.

DSPM operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer model with no disclosed recurring revenue stream. Products are sold as one-time hardware purchases to enterprise and specifier buyers (electrical contractors, facility managers, building operators) via phone and contact form inquiries, supported by a content-driven Magazine/Newsletter platform. Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales of backup power systems, inverters, frequency converters, transformers, and voltage regulators, with no public pricing and no disclosed financial scale.
