Broad incumbents

• 2GIG (Nice Group): Wireless alarm panel manufacturer whose receivers Nascom iON sensors integrate with; 2GIG's broader security platform includes some proprietary sensors that overlap with Nascom's wireless product lines.
• Resideo (Honeywell Home): Broad security and smart-home incumbent spun out of Honeywell, offering full security ecosystems including sensors, panels, and professional monitoring — overlapping with Nascom's wireless sensor line as part of a much larger portfolio.
• DSC (Johnson Controls): Major alarm panel manufacturer (Power Series, etc.) whose wireless receivers Nascom's iON products integrate with; DSC also offers its own sensor ecosystem, making it both a partner and a partial competitor.
• Bosch Security and Safety Systems: Global incumbent offering intrusion detection systems, magnetic contacts, and integrated security platforms across commercial and residential markets; broader portfolio but overlapping components.
