StudentConnect Scores Big at the 2014 GAPT Conference
More Than 10 Georgia School Districts and Counties Requested
Meetings for Deployment of StudentConnect on Their School Buses
MARIETTA, GA--(Marketwired - Jun 25, 2014) - StudentConnect
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of East Coast Diversified
Corporation (OTC Pink: ECDC) (PINKSHEETS: ECDC), today announced
that the showcase sponsored for it by Verizon Wireless at the
Georgia Association for Pupil Transportation Conference was a big
success for the company.
More than 10 Georgia Counties and School Districts requested or
scheduled meetings to discuss deployment of StudentConnect on their
buses. Several other districts express interest and plan to
schedule meetings to discuss the program. StudentConnect joined the
Verizon Partner Program in 2013. In addition to our joint marketing
efforts, StudentConnect devices will operate exclusively on the
Verizon network.
StudentConnect provides school transportation and School
attendance technology to School districts at no cost. Services
provided by StudentConnect will utilize its proprietary GPS and
RFID technology to identify student's entry and exit on school
buses or other anomalies that may occur during student's
transportation. The program is funded by corporate advertisers;
sponsors' messages are delivered to the parents with notification
about student's status.
"The reception was a strong validation of our business and
product; this was the first public showcase of StudentConnect and
the response was the same as we have seen across the country, very
high. Partnering with Verizon on this product has been one of the
key milestone accomplishments for StudentConnect and the result was
evident at the conference last week," said Kayode Aladesuyi, CEO,
ECDC.
