"I know that our technologies have the ability to make a significant change in the safety and security of our Warfighters all over the world," said BTS Software Solutions President, Sean Lane. "My desire to improve military communications and intelligence processes, however, is only matched by my passion to make Baltimore a better place to live and work. I hope to make our city the Silicon Valley of the East Coast and encourage entrepreneurs to set up all sorts of businesses in Baltimore."
Founded in 2011, BTS Software Solutions focuses primarily on the maintenance, promotion and creation of new features for BTS invented Praefectus™. Praefectus software is used by the Army to manage tactical cellular networks and mobile devices.
"Innovative, emerging companies are at the heart of our economy in Baltimore and it is critically important that Congress continue to do everything it can to support their growth, which will help create quality jobs now and in the future," said U.S. Senator Ben Cardin. "Maryland is a national hub for homeland security and national security technology. By working together in our local communities, we can continue to ensure that Maryland remains at the center of technology innovation in the next decade and our regional economy prospers."
BTS Software Solutions is a subsidiary of BTS Corporation, a company that was founded in 2008 and has since been at the forefront of engineering advanced artificial and collective intelligence algorithms to automate the complexities of deploying and managing 3G and 4G cellular networks in the military and commercial sectors. In addition to operational accomplishments in the U.S. and Afghanistan, BTS has experienced very strong growth and all BTS subsidiary companies are currently hiring.
"Cybersecurity is a tremendous growth field for Maryland, and we are proud to have innovative, new businesses expanding locally and creating job opportunities in national security," said Congressman John Sarbanes, a member of the Science, Space and Technology Committee.
BTS has a dedication to the local economy that goes far beyond the scope of BTS Software Solutions. In early 2011 they established the Digital Harbor Foundation, a nonprofit that works to foster a culture of innovation, technological advancement and entrepreneurship in the Baltimore Area.
"I am thrilled to support BTS and the Digital Harbor Foundation, both of which are committed to making our area a better place for all Marylanders to live and work," said Attorney General Gansler. "I encourage other local companies to follow suit and expand here in Maryland, hire local talent and develop partnerships within the surrounding communities."
Through educational initiatives for students and recent college graduates, the Digital Harbor Foundation works to foster a new generation of leaders in Baltimore's technology sector. They are currently accepting applications for their 2012 college scholarship program.
