IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CalAmp (Nasdaq:
CAMP), a global technology solutions pioneer transforming the
mobile connected economy, announced today that its Bus Guardian
school bus contact tracing solution has received the 2020 IoT
Excellence Award presented by TMC and Crossfire Media.
Bus Guardian, developed by CalAmp subsidiary Synovia Solutions,
is a powerful combination of CalAmp's hardware, software and
telematics technology that delivers contact tracing, driver
wellness checks and hygiene verification to help schools more
intelligently, and safely, manage the student transportation
challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Bus Guardian contact tracing solution allows school
administrators to create instant reports around each student's bus
ridership history. These reports distinguish who rode a bus during
the same time as potentially infected students as well as those who
rode the same bus at different times. This information is critical
in common situations where a bus serves different routes during
different time periods of the same day.
Bus Guardian is trusted by more than 200 school districts across
the country.
"Safety and peace of mind have always been at the heart of our
technology and it's gratifying to know we were able to creatively
evolve during this pandemic to deliver a new kind of safety
solution for our customers," stated Jeff
Gardner, CEO at CalAmp. "We are a leader in school bus
safety technology and will continue to innovate our software,
hardware and support to deliver solutions that keep students,
drivers and communities safe and deliver peace of mind to
parents."
The 2020 IoT Excellence Award honors innovative products that
support the availability of information being deduced, inferred and
directly gathered from sensors, systems and anything else that is
supporting better business and personal decisions.
The iconic yellow school bus is the nation's most widely used
form of public transit with approximately 25 million daily riders
prior to the pandemic. Synovia's GPS-powered fleet tracking
technology is equipped on more than 100,000 of the roughly 500,000
school buses in the United
States.
"It is my pleasure to recognize Bus Guardian with an IoT
Excellence Award for its excellence in innovation," said
Carl Ford, CEO & Community
Developer, Crossfire Media. "As a leader in this rapidly evolving
industry, I look forward to seeing CalAmp's future successes."
