"It is truly an honor to receive this award in the company of such an inspiring group of Maryland's business leaders," said BTS CEO, Sean Lane. "We started BTS because we knew we could make a real difference in improving battlefield communications and that we could improve and possibly save the lives of those with whom we served when we were in the military. Since it was the men and women in uniform who inspired me to start BTS, I dedicate this award to all of them and their families."
As a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer, Sean started BTS to help address what he believed was a critical need on the battlefield -- the need to move intelligence data quickly in areas with limited or no connectivity. Since its formation in 2008, Sean has established BTS as a leading provider of tactical 3G/4G cellular communications technologies for the U.S. Government and private sector.
"Ernst & Young has honored outstanding entrepreneurs like this year's winners for the past 25 years," said Harry Thomasian, Ernst & Young LLP Entrepreneur Of The Year Maryland Program Director. "These business leaders have accomplished so much and contributed a tremendous amount to the community. They give us hope for what the next 25 years of entrepreneurs will bring."
Sean Lane was selected by an independent panel of judges, and the award was presented at a gala event at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront on June 23, 2011. As a Maryland award winner, he is eligible for consideration for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011 National Award. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the overall Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year National Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala, hosted by Jay Leno, in Palm Springs, California, on November 12, 2011.
