How We Are Different
BearCom Extended Warranty
BearCom’s Professional Service Group manages the largest independent wireless equipment service/repair depot in America. Our team provides radio repair, field service, engineering, project management, systems integration, and customer service. We offer CSC service locations (USMSS), service level agreements, and first through third-level support with dispatch.
In addition to service agreements, BearCom offers extended warranties–yet another way to help reduce the high cost of future repairs or service. For a reasonable one-time fee, you can extend the warranties for your products up to five years to ensure they are protected from unnecessary spikes in cost due to the need for repair or service!
Service Level Agreements An easy repair or quick service call could become costly without the proper service agreement. BearCom offers simple, cost-effective plans that could save you thousands of dollars in future repairs or service. We will customize a service agreement based on your specific needs. The three levels of support are: ●● Bronze: Monday through Friday support with on-demand pickup of mobile and portable radio products, on-site troubleshooting and repair
of infrastructure-related communications equipment, and quarterly preventative maintenance schedule. Severity Level

BearCom maintains a successful Premier Service Partner (PSP) relationship with Motorola. This elite designation recognizes BearCom branches as authorized Motorola PSP-certified service/repair shops. The PSP program replaces the former Motorola Service Station (MSS) program, which had been in place for more than 50 years. PSP is now the highest level of service relationship offered by Motorola. By achieving PSP status, BearCom is authorized to perform maintenance, installation, and warranty services for select Motorola products, such as two-way radio systems, consoles, and subscriber units. There are more than 700 Motorola service and repair locations across the nation, but only 105 qualified for PSP certification. The program focuses on measuring quality initiatives, technical expertise, customer satisfaction, and commitment to Motorola products and services.
Authorized Motorola Service Partner (MSP) BearCom is also an Authorized Motorola Service Partner (MSP). This level includes many of the existing benefits of Motorola Service Station (MSS) locations, while also creating the appropriate differentiators for support of our Motorola maintenance customers. Service technicians may also install systems and radios, but their primary role is servicing and repairing communication devices and systems.
