|
|
|
Getting Marylanders vaccinated efficiently and safely is everyone’s top priority. This week, county leaders offered guidance on issues of allocations, communications, and registrations to Governor Hogan and his leadership team. In the meantime, conversations at every level are advancing the roll-out of vaccines and redoubling efforts to reach the most affected communities. The future may bring multi-week allocation announcements – a great step toward reducing canceled appointments arising from their unpredictability.

The most common understanding of excellence is being the best — the best quality; the best service; the best product; the best, period. Among teams today, leaders must drive excellence at the point of preparation so that it’s an ingrained expectation throughout every action the team members take. You must drive excellence in the small things to realize excellence in all things. Read more...

Cybersecurity: Motorola has been monitoring public safety solutions such as mission-critical radio and 9-1-1 infrastructure for 30 years. And for 20 years they have been proving cybersecurity monitoring and patch mitigation to know threats. In 2020 they brought on 2 leaders in cybersecurity, Lunarline and Delta Risk. Motorola now has about 200 dedicated cybersecurity professionals with the ability to assess systems strengths and vulnerabilities, respond and recover systems and most importantly provide insightful training. Their training mantra is “everyone is responsible.”
Private LTE: With the students remotely learning, internet bandwidth for streaming class is a concern many have. Even in the most urban environments, the cost of an internet service provider (ISP) may be too great for families to subscribe to. Motorola has a solution that provides private LTE to school boards, cities, and counties to meet to resolve this. Motorola has the ability to tap into a school, city or county’s internet and broadcast coverage over the air in an average a 1+ mile radius. They work with the local government’s IT department to program modem devices with simple instructions, which then can be delivered to the students in need. Motorola offers an easy to use dashboard allowing administrators to view who has the connection, if there are problems, and the assurance to provide each student the ability to access their remote class. Traditional providers may offer free MiFi’s or open up hotspots, however; when a number of students in a concentrated area try to use that hot spot, the bandwidth is quickly consumed and the students are not able to gain access to their live class. Below are a few examples of how cities and/or counties have partnered with school boards so each can benefit.
