While Convergint has built a strong fire alarm business with Edwards in the Lowcountry up into the Midlands, there has been a stronger focus on selling and supporting mainly electronic security solutions in the Upstate and Florence areas. Partnered with Edwards, Convergint now also provides fire alarm & life safety solutions across the region which include, but are not limited to, intelligent fire and smoke detection, specialty detection solutions, one and two-way emergency voice communication (including mass notification), ADA-compliant visual notification, and graphic annunciation solutions.

Expanding this partnership makes Convergint one of the largest Edwards dealers in the world, and able to sell and service Edwards products in the state of South Carolina. Convergint works with customers to deliver compliant, non-proprietary solutions which avoid sole-source dependency and assure long-term cost competitiveness. With sole-source proprietary systems, a customer will frequently end up paying a sizable premium for any given parts or services they might need over the life of the system. Convergint can help clients migrate out of that situation over time.
