Avigilon Provides Solutions to Help Schools Re-Open

Written by Avigilon, a Motorola Solutions Company | May 5, 2021 11:55:16 PM

The Department of Education American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds are available to educational institutions in all 50 states to help schools reopen. There are funds specified for both K-12 schools and institutions of higher education in this plan.

 

Avigilon, a Motorola Solutions company, offers a variety of solutions that can be deployed to help education agencies in their coronavirus response, prevention, and mitigation efforts - technologies and systems to assist in safely reopening schools. You may be able to use your Education Stabilization Fund grant on these solutions, but you should consult your State Educational Agencies (SEA) and/or legal department if you have questions.

 

Avigilon Control Center (ACC, video solution) and Avigilon Access Control Manager (ACM, access control solution) have embedded capabilities that assist with your efforts of reopening safely. Avigilon Cloud Services (ACS) is the platform that presents some of the information in a dashboard format with reports for compliance trend analysis.  Below are a few of the allowable uses for funds and corresponding Motorola Solutions technologies that apply.  (Please see additional detail in the linked documentation above for more specific information on some of the referenced items.)
