Presidio

CEO: Bob Cagnazzi

Presidio brought the Internet of Things to students with a connected school bus. The Intel partner worked with school districts, communities, and cities to find the right mix of legacy and new technologies to ensure school districts have a reliable, scalable foundation.

As part of the solution, Presidio added live video monitoring capabilities, Wi-Fi access for students, automatic vehicle location capabilities, and fleet management systems.

This IoT solution enabled monitoring and management functions for school buses, including real-time vehicle tracking for trend analysis purposes, instant alerts in case a school bus travels outside of a designated route or violates transportation policies, and connected services like integration with radio dispatch operations to improve responses to emergencies. Presidio used on-board network designs with Cisco's mobile routing platform and an Intel-based gateway, as well as a rugged Intel processor-based tablet for student tracking and driver information.
