Batelco solution to make school buses smart

Manama : Batelco has launched a cutting edge IoT (Internet of Things) Connected Vehicle Solution to support the requirements of the education and transportation sectors. The solution is aimed at equipping vehicles, such as school busses, with cameras, sensors, 

GPS tracker, sound level detector and object count and furthermore the solution is self-powered through the use of solar panels. 

The new Batelco Connected Vehicle Solution delivers a complete transportation security solution and has been designed and developed to address growing market needs, particularly from the education sector, to support safety issues for school children and university students. The solution will also be a valuable support for transportation companies in general.

Batelco Bahrain CEO Muna Al Hashemi said that the Connected Vehicle solution was in big demand from school authorities who are very eager to ensure the safety of their students travelling to school by school bus.

“The solution allows staff at the school to monitor the busses with CCTV surveillance and video recording. Among the benefits is the ability to count the number of passengers boarding and alighting from the bus and a two-way communication system to enable speaking and listening. Furthermore, there is also a built in alarm system to alert the school to specific issues that may occur,” explained Al Hashemi.

“We want to ‘upgrade the world’ of communications for all our customers through our provisioning of the latest products and services at value for money prices. As Bahrain’s most advanced digital network we’ll keep bringing you innovative ways to connect better, work better and live better,” added Al Hashemi.
