Indoor Air Quality IoT Solution aims to improve student outcomes and health, while reducing energy and operational costs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ALLENTOWN, PA \u2013 March 12, 2024 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Iota Communications, Inc. (IotaComm\u00ae), a wireless communication and Internet of Things (IoT) solution provider, today announced the addition of a major new customer: the Allentown School District (ASD), the fifth largest district in Pennsylvania. By providing its Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solution, IotaComm strengthens its position as a leading provider of innovative IoT solutions for the K-12 education sector, while enabling the District to achieve its core goals of improving student health and outcomes.<\/p>\n

IotaComm\u2019s Delphi360 data analytics and application enablement platform powers the IAQ service for ASD. Delphi360 operates by capturing environmental data from LoRaWAN sensors such as volatile organic compounds, humidity, temperature, occupancy, particulate matter 2.5, CO2, and light levels; factors proven to contribute to student performance, health, attention spans and attendance. IotaComm\u2019s data experts leverage machine learning algorithms to yield invaluable insights and advice aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and fostering better health and safety for students and staff within the Allentown School District.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnsuring the well-being and academic success of our diverse student population are our greatest priorities, and selecting IotaComm to provide IAQ services aligns perfectly with our goals of providing a safe and healthy learning environment for every student and the adults entrusted with their care,\u201d said Allentown School District\u2019s Superintendent Dr. Carol Birks. \u201cIt is crucial to invest in innovative solutions that offer tangible benefits, and IotaComm\u2019s solution helps us improve indoor air quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe selected IotaComm for their easily deployable, cost-effective LoRaWAN sensors that seamlessly integrate with our existing systems,\u201d said Allentown School District Executive Director of Facilities Tom Smith. \u201cImportantly, IotaComm\u2019s IAQ solution enables us to efficiently scale our operations, allowing us to enhance services for our students and staff, while significantly reducing both time and costs compared to doing this ourselves. This aligns well with the District\u2019s goals of elevating indoor environmental quality and fostering an optimal atmosphere for academic success.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted to announce Allentown School District is now a valued customer of IotaComm! The inclusion of ASD represents an important milestone in our go-to-market strategy aimed at providing IAQ solutions to K-12 schools nationally\u201d, said Terrence DeFranco, Chief Executive Officer of IotaComm. \u201cAs an Allentown headquartered company, we find it especially rewarding that IotaComm will contribute to enhancing the well-being of students and educators in Allentown through the enhancement of indoor teaching environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/a>, \u201cindoor levels of air pollutants can be 2-5 times higher, and occasionally 100 times higher, than outdoor levels. And approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population \u2013 nearly 56 million people \u2013 spend their days inside elementary and secondary schools.\u201d Estimates show that up to 50 percent of the nation\u2019s schools have problems linked to poor indoor air quality and IotaComm is poised to help our nation\u2019s schools, students and staff, overcome this significant issue.<\/p>\n
