September 17, 2014There are no loopholes in Murphy’s Law when it comes to two-way radio networks. A construction worker drops a handheld radio, then kicks it down two flights of stairs. Lightning strikes a radio antenna tower and turns a base station into a brick. Just about anything bad that can happen to your radio gear will happen no matter how careful you are. That’s why BearCom has one of the most extensive repair and field-service programs in the United States. Here’s a look at how we keep our customers’ radio networks running at full power: The BearCom Repair Depot We repair roughly

September 10, 2014Once you’ve invested in a two-way radio network for your business, you need a way to contain the costs that accompany an equipment purchase. Paying for parts and hiring technicians to repair radios, repeaters and base stations might not be a big deal if your business owns a small network that is not operations-critical to your business. But the larger your radio fleet is — and the more deeply it is integrated into your business — the greater the likelihood that an equipment failure will stick you with costly breakdowns that can threaten your company. As the largest dealer of two-way radio equipment in the United States, BearCom has extensive experience with a vast array of radio network configurations. That experience helped us develop a three-tiered system of Service Level Agreements to cover the needs of a broad range of businesses. We can help you decide whether your company needs a basic Bronze

September 03, 2014The bigger a two-way radio network gets, the harder it becomes to keep everything up and running at peak efficiency. A sophisticated two-way radio network contains a web of radios, repeaters and transmitters that might connect hundreds of two-way radios. As more radio owners switch to digital transmissions, they are adding their radio networks to their Internet protocol, or IP, networks. That, in turn, integrates their digital transmissions into their wider IT infrastructure. As a leading provider of two-way radio networks, BearCom has developed extensive expertise in troubleshooting problems in radio transmissions. All that comes into play with BearCom’s managed services, which allow us to monitor a customer’s network in real time and get problems solved much more quickly because a technician can fix the problem remotely rather than travel to the customer’s site.

August 19, 2014There’s a force in the universe that we do not truly understand which seems to cause manufactured goods to malfunction at the most inconvenient time after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. That’s why BearCom offers warranties for up to three years beyond the factory warranties. Respected two-way radio manufacturers will pay the cost of repairing defects that crept in on the assembly line, within limits. And no matter how hard these companies try to minimize defects (trust us, they try very hard), some radios malfunction after the warranty period ends. Why should you invest in an extended warranty for your two-way radios? If your company’s radios reside in the “handy to have around” category, you might be able to sneak by without an extended

August 12, 2014Acquiring a sophisticated communications network is not like buying a radio at your local big-box retailer. It requires patience, preparation and perseverance on your end and exacting attention to detail on ours to make sure you get the best return on your two-way radio investment. Your network will have multiple components — radios, repeaters, cabling, headsets, antennas — that have to be special-ordered from multiple manufacturers, tested on our site, installed on your site and adjusted to iron out any unanticipated wrinkles. That process typically takes six to eight weeks. Here’s a look at each key step in the installation and deployment phase. Phase one: ordering the equipment With your order in hand, BearCom will work with our manufacturing partners and their engineering teams
