Contest Creates Innovative Tech Solutions for Emergency
Responder Communications
Motorola Solutions Inc. (NYSE: MSI) today announced its launch
of the Tech to Protect Challenge, a national open innovation
contest designed to advance public safety communications. As a
national co-sponsor of the initiative, Motorola Solutions will host
the regional codeathon event Sept. 27-29 at the Schaumburg campus
located outside of Chicago and invites all bright minds to
participate.
The event introduces 10 unique coding contests designed to
foster technology solutions to assist emergency responders in
serving and protecting communities nationwide. Tech to Protect
Chicago regional codeathon participants will have the opportunity
to showcase their expertise and talent, expand their professional
portfolios and connect with leaders across the public safety and
technology communities.
“We’re excited to give participants the opportunity to create
life-saving technologies that will have a lasting impact on our
community and communities across the nation,” said Ed Davalos,
director of carrier solutions at Motorola Solutions. “Additionally,
winning teams will be awarded from a pool of up to $2.2 million in
cash prizes and will receive national recognition at the award
event in April, 2020.”
All participants who attend the Tech to Protect Chicago regional
codeathon will have access to resources —including researchers,
scientists and public safety experts—to learn how emergency
responders will use the technology and utilize those solutions.
Each participant’s solution will be evaluated by a panel of judges
and reviewers to determine the winners.
“Emergency responders, including EMS, firefighters and law
enforcement, operate in uniquely challenging environments,” said
Dereck Orr, division chief of the National Institute of Standards
and Technology’s (NIST) Public Safety Communications Research
(PSCR) division. “NIST is proud to be a part of this initiative and
invites creative minds to collaboratively address these
communication needs with innovative technology for the future.”
The Tech to Protect Chicago regional codeathon will be held from
Friday, Sept. 27 to Sunday, Sept. 29 at the Motorola Solutions
office located at 1303 E. Algonquin Road in Schaumburg, Ill. Local
participants can register to attend and compete in the event
here.
