Fluidmesh Donates Wireless Equipment to Aid Boy Scouts of America

  • Dec 03, 2013

Fluidmesh Networks, a provider of wireless backhauling systems for security, industrial, and mission-critical applications, recently donated wireless radios to the Boy Scouts of America. The donation will facilitate wireless capability to assist the Scouts' new STEM program that covers science, technology, engineering and math.

The equipment will be used at the Camp Lakota facility in Woodstock, Illinois to broaden the scope of the programming they can provide to the scouts, parents and other youth that visit the camp. Lakota allows Scouts to explore the wilderness and offers a year-round program for the youngest Tiger Scout to the Eagle-bound Scout and beyond to the Venturing Crews.

The donation was facilitated through Anthony Valle, sales engineer at Avigilon, a Fluidmesh technology partner. Valle is on the Northwest Suburban Council of the Boy Scouts of America and called upon Fluidmesh to help with the cause.

"It is because of scouters such as Anthony and the generosity of companies such as Fluidmesh that we are going to be able to continue to provide great programming in a safe environment," noted Emily Rinaldi, Northwest Suburban Council, BSA, Lakota director. "This act of good will means so much to us."

"We are very happy to help in the effort to assist the Scouts' STEM program and advance their programming in science, technology, engineering and math," added Cosimo Malesci, Fluidemsh co-founder and VP of sales & marketing.

  • The Future is Happening Outside the Cloud

    For years, the cloud has captivated the physical security industry. And for good reason. Remote access, elastic scalability and simplified maintenance reshaped how we think about deploying and managing systems. But as the number of cameras grows and resolutions push from HD to 4K and beyond, the cloud’s limits are becoming unavoidable. Bandwidth bottlenecks. Latency lags. Rising storage costs. These are not abstract concerns. Read Now

  • Unlocking Trustworthy AI: Building Transparency in Security Governance

    In situations where AI supports important security tasks like leading investigations and detecting threats and anomalies, transparency is essential. When an incident occurs, investigators must trace the logic behind each automated response to confirm its validity or spot errors. Demanding interpretable AI turns opaque “black boxes” into accountable partners that enhance, rather than compromise, organizational defense. Read Now

  • Seeking Innovative Solutions

    Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. You may recognize these terms as the “5 Phases” of a grieving process, but they could easily describe the phases one goes through before adopting any new or emerging innovation or technology, especially in a highly risk-averse industry like security. However, the desire for convenience in all aspects of modern life is finally beginning to turn the tide from old school hardware as the go-to towards more user-friendly, yet still secure, door solutions.
