Published

on

DENVER, Dec. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Procare Solutions, a leader in child care management software, achieved several noteworthy milestones in our mission to help ensure the care, safety and education of children. These include many new product enhancements, partnerships and the addition of professional development training.

This year’s highlights include:

Updates to our digital curriculum that include earning approvals in several states ensuring compliance and ease of use for early childhood educators nationwideMobile app enhancements including new photo reactions and improved messaging to enhance staff communication, as well as new advanced registration features with custom forms and lead management to streamline administrative tasksIntegrations with our partners to help child care centers grow enrollment and improve their educational offerings, ensuring better outcomes for children and familiesThe acquisition of Bertelsen Education expanding Procare to include continuing education training for early childhood education and Head Start child care providers

“Our belief that every child deserves the best possible start is at the heart of everything we do,” said Procare Solutions CEO JoAnn Kintzel. “Each of these developments reflects our commitment to delivering robust, user-friendly solutions that support child care providers in achieving their goals.”

Supporting Early Childhood Education (ECE) Curriculum

Helping centers improve the education of young learners has always been, and continues to be, a top priority of Procare Solutions.

Our 2024 Child Care Management Software Industry Trends Report found that about 30% of survey respondents said each teacher spends between three and five hours a week doing lesson planning and a similar percentage noted their centers create their own curriculum.

Procare Early Learning powered by Learning Beyond Paper, an all-digital curriculum designed for ECE that is embedded into Procare, was updated and gained approval in several states. Aligning with state-approved ECE curriculum is essential for securing grant funding and providing high-quality education.

In the newest version, the hands-on, play-based activities got a boost by intentionally integrating them across multiple developmental domains and incrementally increasing their complexity throughout the year. And it also includes similar activities across various age groups to better support mixed-age classrooms.

Learning supports were enhanced to assist diverse learners, including guided lesson support videos for teachers. These videos show the step-by-step implementation of each activity focusing on elevating quality with teacher-child interactions and serve as a virtual mentor and coach for teachers.

Making ECE Professional Development Simpler

The Procare Solutions 2024 trends report also found that nearly one-third of respondents need more professional development for teachers and staff.

Through the acquisition of Bertelsen Education, a leader in professional development training, ECE providers using Procare gained access to professional development and continuing education courses.

By adding Bertelsen Education’s training courses, which are accredited in all 50 states, we continue to build on our comprehensive suite of solutions designed to support child care centers in delivering excellent early childhood education.

Improving Learning in Child Care Classrooms While Helping Grow Enrollment

ECE teachers in child care centers using Procare also can benefit from educational videos from MarcoPolo Learning, the award-winning global developer of educational products and instructional resources. In 2024, MarcoPolo Learning’s comprehensive library of developmentally appropriate short videos, educator guides and activities became available in Procare, making it easier for educators to incorporate the resources into their lesson plans.

And a new partnership with Lakeshore Learning, a leading developer and retailer of educational materials, supports child care providers by offering them access to high-quality educational materials at discounted rates.

Procare customers have access to a dedicated Lakeshore Learning eStore with hundreds of curated educational materials and resources specifically tailored for early childhood programs with a discount and free shipping.

Also in 2024, a new integration between Procare Solutions and IntelliKid Systems, a leading provider of child care enrollment and marketing software, offered a suite of marketing tools to connect time-strapped early childhood education centers with families searching for high-quality child care.

With Procare and IntelliKid Systems, the entire enrollment lifecycle is handled with ease, from inquiry to registration and everything in between.

This partnership adds marketing automation to the suite of robust enrollment tools already offered in Procare that include waitlist management, electronic documents and the Lead Insights dashboard that shows how effective a center is at converting prospective customers.

Using Technology to Help Child Care Leaders and Families

The Procare child care mobile app has long been a staple for communication between child care center staff and families. And in 2024, it added some fun too – families can now add an emoji reaction to photos posted to their child’s daily activity feed and staff users can view the reactions to see how their work is being recognized! The app got its own round of applause, finishing the year with a 4.9 out of 5-star rating in the Apple store.

Messaging features for child care center staff got a boost – staff can send and receive messages via Procare or text messages. The option to send text alerts allows administrators to communicate with staff members without a Procare account. These messages are sent as a text message to a staff member’s mobile device.

And Procare’s all-new registration and lead management solution allows centers to create multiple registration forms with unique fields and requirements, giving more freedom to customize registration for different purposes. On top of that, leads can now be reviewed ahead of time, with opportunities to identify and merge any potential duplicates. 

Recognition for Our Work

Procare Solutions CEO JoAnn Kintzel was named to the list of Calibre One’s 2024 ranking of the top 25 women leaders in U.S. private equity-backed software, the second year in a row she achieved this award. She also received the 2024 ASU+GSV Power of Women Award.

And we are proud to once again be honored with a Built In 2024 Best Places to Work Award. This annual awards program includes companies of all sizes, from startups to those in the enterprise, and honors both remote-first employers as well as companies in large tech markets across the U.S.

From Remote Racing to Embodied AI: Fibocom and Intedigo Bring 5G Bidirectional Data Transmission into Real-World Applications

Published

on

By

SHANGHAI, July 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From July 17 to 20, Fibocom and Intedigo will jointly present a cross-regional, beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) teleoperation demonstration at Booth H3-C408 during the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026. Visitors will be able to enter a remote driving cockpit and control a real race car located at HURA PARK in Jiading, Shanghai, steering, accelerating, and braking in real time while experiencing how 5G connectivity enables remote operation.

More than an immersive driving experience, the demonstration provides a live validation of 5G bidirectional data transmission for embodied AI teleoperation. The vehicle continuously sends live track video, vehicle status, and operating data to the remote cockpit, while control commands are transmitted back to the vehicle, creating a closed-loop teleoperation system. Stable, low-latency, and highly reliable connectivity is essential for high-dynamic maneuvers such as high-speed cornering, precision braking, and continuous lane changes.

Developed by Intedigo, the remote driving system connects a real race car with an immersive remote driving cockpit. It supports 1080p@60Hz video transmission, glass-to-glass (G2G) video latency of less than 80 ms, and control latency of less than 10 ms. The demanding racing environment magnifies differences in video continuity and control responsiveness, making communications performance directly perceptible, measurable, and verifiable.

At the joint demonstration, Fibocom’s FM160 5G module provides cellular connectivity for the system. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon™ X62 5G Modem-RF System, the FM160 supports SA and NSA network architectures as well as 3GPP Release 16. On the downlink, it supports NR Carrier Aggregation (NR CA) with bandwidth of up to 120 MHz, delivering peak speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps in NSA mode and 2.5 Gbps in SA mode. On the uplink, it supports UL MIMO and delivers peak speeds of up to 900 Mbps in SA mode. These capabilities support the continuous transmission of HD video and vehicle status data, along with reliable delivery of control commands.

As embodied AI moves into factories, data centers, logistics operations, and industrial parks, robots are becoming increasingly capable of performing tasks autonomously. Yet complex environments, unexpected events, and edge cases still require Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) remote intervention to help ensure safe and reliable operation.

Daniel Liu, CEO of Intedigo, said:

“5G represents the pinnacle of human communications and the starting point of machine communications. In the past, communications connected people to people; in the future, they will connect people to robots and robots to robots. Remote racing is simply the easiest entry point for people to understand this concept. What we are truly validating is a communications system capable of supporting remote collaboration for embodied AI. HURA makes low-latency remote driving a tangible experience, while RoBOX extends this capability to robots and a broader range of intelligent terminals. Together with Fibocom, we hope to enable more machines to receive remote assistance whenever needed while remaining continuously connected and operating reliably.”

Simon Tao, VP of Wireless Solutions Business Group and General Manager of MBB BU at Fibocom, said:

“As embodied AI enters real-world industrial environments, reliable connectivity will become the foundation for telemetry feedback, remote control and operational management. Fibocom’s 5G solutions, represented by FM160, provide the cellular connectivity required for continuous on-site data transmission and reliable control command delivery. Fibocom will continue collaborating with ecosystem partners such as Intedigo to bring cellular connectivity to more robots, autonomous machines and mobile intelligent terminals, enabling embodied AI systems to stay continuously connected and respond reliably in real-world applications.”

From remote race cars to robots, unmanned equipment, and mobile intelligent terminals, 5G is evolving from connecting people to connecting machines. This joint demonstration makes the capabilities of 5G bidirectional data transmission directly perceptible, experiential, and verifiable, helping pave the way for embodied AI to scale across real-world applications.
