IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), a connected intelligence
company helping businesses and people track, monitor and recover
vital assets with real-time visibility and insights, is supporting
the back-to-school season with its contact tracing solution, Bus
Guardian™. Safety amid the COVID-19 pandemic is the
top priority of school districts and parents alike, particularly
with the Delta variant present in communities. Fortunately, tens of
thousands of families across North
America will send their children back to school this Fall
with the peace of mind provided by powerful IoT solutions designed
to help schools and parents safely and confidently manage the daily
commute.
Launched by CalAmp subsidiary Synovia Solutions, Bus
Guardian allows school administrators to create instant and
actionable reporting of school bus ridership for drivers and
students based on contact tracing, which the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention lists as essential to combating
COVID-19. The solution is also equipped with a hygiene verification
system to help administrators monitor and report on real-time
driver sanitization efforts.
More than 200 school districts across North America have adopted Bus Guardian. To
battle the added safety challenges of navigating back to school
amid the Delta variant, 14 additional school districts and school
bus contractors in 13 states spanning from the Northeast to the
Southwest are poised to introduce Bus Guardian around the start of
this school year. Here Comes The Bus®, CalAmp's award-winning
school bus tracking app that currently has more than two million
users and serves over 330 school districts across North America, is also being deployed by these
new school district customers.
"Our mission has always been to serve school districts and
families with our contact tracing and location technology, but the
ongoing pandemic has elevated the importance and need of our
solutions exponentially," said Jeff
Gardner, president and CEO of CalAmp. "We've invested
significant time and resources developing mobile solutions to
create a safer school bus experience that eases the transition for
students returning to in-school learning. We will continue to seek
creative ways to serve our communities around the globe during
these difficult times."
Bus Guardian has garnered a 2020 IoT Excellence Award and
2020 IoT Evolution Community Impact Award. Here Comes The Bus has
captured several awards including the GSMA 2020 Global Mobile
Award (GLOMO) for Best Mobile Service for the Connected Life,
Octane High Tech Award for Best Consumer Technology
Innovation, IoT Evolution Excellence Award, and IHS Markit
