In recent years, regional infrastructure across the southeastern United States has increasingly demanded adaptive and secure technological support. Solaren has responded to this call by forming strategic partnerships and expanding service capabilities beyond traditional security. With a foundation in armed and unarmed services, Solaren now operates at the intersection of security and intelligent technology. From mobile surveillance platforms to AI-driven traffic control systems, the company’s evolution marks a significant contribution to public and commercial safety systems.
Since its founding in 2017 by Jack K. Byrd III and Curtis E. Dodson, Solaren has built its reputation through direct engagement with government and commercial clients. Originally based in Nashville, Tennessee, the company has become a leading provider of both off-duty law enforcement personnel and investigation services across multiple states. This expansion has been supported by Solaren’s commitment to timely deployments and professional conduct, core principles that continue to shape its operations today.
Among Solaren’s notable advances is its partnership with REKOR AI. This collaboration positions Solaren as the regional provider for REKOR’s AI-enabled roadway technologies in the Southeast. These systems offer more than traditional license plate recognition—they provide real-time, actionable data that supports decision-making across municipal, commercial, and public safety domains. Whether optimizing traffic flows or monitoring vehicle behavior patterns, the integration of this technology represents a step forward in the use of artificial intelligence for civil infrastructure.
Solaren also works with LiveView Technologies to deliver mobile surveillance solutions designed for flexibility and resilience. These self-sufficient units include solar panels, live camera feeds, and customizable monitoring features that enable clients to secure remote or high-risk areas efficiently. Whether deployed at a temporary event or for long-term monitoring of public spaces, these systems offer an alternative to fixed installations. This partnership has enabled Solaren to offer virtual guarding services that adapt to a wide range of client needs while maintaining high standards of reliability.
Beyond technology, Solaren maintains a human-centered focus in its daily operations. The company employs a range of personnel, from field operations managers to communications experts, ensuring seamless coordination across deployments. The leadership team, including CEO Jack K. Byrd III, supports not only service delivery but also long-term partnerships with law enforcement and municipal agencies. This has positioned Solaren as a trusted partner for security coverage during major events, such as citywide races and festivals, where crowd management and public safety are top priorities.
Solaren’s traffic control division also plays a crucial role in its service offering. Accredited by the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA), this team provides flaggers, signage, and event-based solutions across construction zones and public venues. With a record of rapid response and service fulfillment, Solaren distinguishes itself from competitors by dispatching assignments within 72 hours of receipt without additional fees.
Clients who engage with Solaren often cite the company’s professionalism and reliability as defining characteristics. Testimonials point to its effectiveness in safeguarding business properties and offering flexible, part-time employment opportunities to security professionals. This dual commitment to client satisfaction and employee development continues to define Solaren’s operational culture.
With plans to further expand its technology partnerships and geographic reach, Solaren stands at the frontier of integrated security and infrastructure support. As smart city initiatives grow in prominence and demand for real-time surveillance and data integration increases, Solaren’s existing foundation and partnerships will likely position it to meet these needs efficiently and at scale.
