Glenn Bronson received his MS in network communication and electrical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1993, where he conducted research on the newly developed Wi-Fi network technology. He attended industry standards conferences and his work published in PIMRC and IEEE.
At this time he set up some of the earliest WiFi networks in Massachusetts, as well as provided coverage over four square miles in a test network in his home town in Connecticut.
He was hired directly out of school for his graduate thesis work by a startup company, and has worked in technology as both a full time engineer and a consultant to VC's and startups since that time.
In 2002 he was hired for his independent work and research on large scale simulations of data networks, by Airvana, which was one of the earliest startup companies competing for the newly developing smartphone 3G/4G infrastructure. By 2004, his group at the company had successfully simulated all of Verizon's 3G network, and was the largest cellular data network simulation in the world at that time.
From 2010 to 2013 he was the founder of a mobile video company called Klypper, which watermarked videos and pictures for marketing and attributed copyright. It was right after this time, he started working independently using this same mobile technology on roadside video and automated license plate readers. He conducted extensive use tests with both stationary roadside cameras and mobile plate readers, to demonstrate the full power of ALPR to investors.
Contrary to expectation, the results generated tremendous pushback and concern, at that time.
Between 2014 and 2017 he formed his own company to help combat vehicle and property crime, as well as became a consultant to a copyright theft detection company, Pirashield, using part of his video technology for their product. The detection system worked well, and tracked dozens of copyright criminals weekly for over six months.
Since that time, he has been running his independent business named Community Camera, for police, towns, and businesses. Since 2016 he helped locate stolen equipment, vehicles, missing cars, accidents, as well as run into some complex situations regarding camera use. He further developed the technology, with five granted utility patents and three more pending to his name.
Most importantly, he has been following the rapid adoption of stationary license plate readers by law enforcement and the public without regard for the true understanding of the power and long term ramifications of their deployment.
