A
unique community living devoid
of convenient communication.
Weapons and vaping paraphernalia
entering schools. Law enforcement
blindly responding to potentially
dangerous alarms calls. An ineffi cient vaccination
site. Are there not solutions to foil these
dastardly dilemmas?
Hark! Look no further than the winners of
Security Sales & Integrations' 2021 Security
Solution Awards. Announced during September's
Global Security Exchange (GSX) in Orlando,
Fla., the program distinguishes manufacturers
and vendors whose electronic security
solutions have been proven in the fi eld to meet
security, safety or other organizational needs for
integrators' end-user customers.

ing in the sometimes life or death realm of security
and safety - is how those solutions truly
meet the needs of both the security integrator
and their customer. Not to mention the added
wrinkle of delivering these solutions during
the COVID-19 pandemic. Th at is the true
litmus test and why SSI founded the Security
Solutions Awards, " says SSI Associate Publisher
Scott Goldfi ne. " Th is program is both an outstanding
platform for security product suppliers
to showcase their wares and a unique source
for integrators to identify project solutions. "
A panel of experienced security industry
professionals judged each entrant based on the
technical merits and ease of installation of the
product or technology solution, in addition to
the ability of it to help installing security contractors
meet project bid, specifi cation or design
parameters; satisfy regulatory, compliance
or code requirements; and deliver the highest
level of system capabilities, features, functionality,
user-friendliness, results and client satisfaction
across the full range of general, niche and
vertical market applications.
All submitted project applications had to be
installed or deployed in the past 18 months to
be considered for the program. Now read on
to learn about this year's phenomenal winners,
as well as runners-up, and start thinking about
potential projects that can earn their spotlight
next year.
