The combined company, now operating as NSC, is headed by President Mike O’Neal and states that it remains “dedicated to developing and manufacturing the control, security, access, entertainment, and personal digital health solutions” for the residential and commercial industries.
With the move, NSC broadens the range of integrated systems it can offer its customerbase – with collective offerings now including 2GIG security and the ELAN control platform.
