Best Technology Solution for Student Safety
Midland's BizTalk® MB400 Business Radio scored the award for "Best Technology Solution for Student Safety."
"In an emergency, increasingly more commonplace, communication is key safeguarding school campuses and Midland's user-friendly, push to talk two-way radio helps ensure the safety of students, teachers, and staff, while minimizing critical time spent grappling with complex technology.

"Whether it's a natural disaster, a health crisis, or any type of threat to student safety, Midland's advanced radio technology recognizes that effective learning hinges on putting students' safety first - and succeeds."

"It's truly an honor to have the MB400 recognized by such a prestigious organization within the education tech space," said Dan Schwartz, CEO of Midland. "Whether our radios are being used for daily classroom communications or more chaotic times such as drop off and pickup, the MB400 empowers educators and support staff to communicate and coordinate in real-time while monitoring student movements, ensuring their safety and security throughout the day."
