IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq:
CAMP), a global technology solutions pioneer transforming the
mobile connected economy, today announced Bus Guardian has won a
2020 IoT Evolution Community Impact Award from IoT Evolution
World, the leading website covering IoT technologies.
Bus Guardian, developed by CalAmp's subsidiary Synovia
Solutions, simply and affordably leverages CalAmp's software,
hardware and telematics cloud data to convert a school bus into a
powerful data collection platform to help schools combat COVID-19
with accurate contact tracing and hygiene verification. Communities
will be able to safely and confidently return students to the
classroom by leveraging telematics and IoT expertise to know the
frequency of the fleet's sanitization efforts and more importantly,
which students may have been in contact with a fellow student or
driver who tests positive for the virus.
"The Bus Guardian solution was created to ensure that schools
nationwide have access to the technology that will help manage one
of the pandemic's greatest challenges - returning children safely
to the classroom," stated Jeff
Gardner, CEO at CalAmp. "We're thrilled to be able to
creatively apply our deep IoT knowledge and telematics technologies
to benefit the greater community during this time of
uncertainty."
"The solutions selected for the IoT Evolution Community Impact
Award have proved to help make a difference as we
battle the COVID-19 pandemic. It is my honor to congratulate CalAmp
for their superior contribution that empower citizens, companies,
institutions and governments to continue their critical work in
remote access settings," said Rich
Tehrani, CEO of TMC, a co-publisher of IoT
Evolution.
"It is my pleasure to recognize Bus Guardian, an innovative
solution that earned CalAmp the 2020 IoT Community Impact Award,"
said Ken Briodagh, editorial director for IoT Evolution World. "I
look forward to seeing even more contributions from CalAmp toward
improving its community with IoT in the future."
Bus Guardian produces instant reports showing who rode a bus
during the same time as other students as well as those who rode
the same bus, but at different times. This information is extremely
critical in cases where a bus serves both an elementary school and
a middle school during different time periods of the same day.
The Bus Guardian digital solution also tracks, monitors and
reports on school bus drivers and quickly determines which students
came in contact with a potentially ill driver, a particularly
valuable and essential feature for fleets that rely heavily on
substitute drivers especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
