Public safety agencies in the country – on the federal, state, and local levels – choose Verizon for their communications needs over any other provider. Why? Because they know that they can trust us to deliver the best solutions and support each day. This is a duty we take very seriously.
When first responders respond to an emergency – whether responding to an extreme weather storm or preventing a crime- their communication skills are vital. It’s all about timing, and being able to evaluate the situation and coordinate an appropriate response is often a matter of the quality of their communication network.
Verizon has gained the trust of public safety by constructing and providing the most secure 4G LTE network and providing them with the complete array of solutions needed to respond in an emergency and ensure our communities are safe.
First responders utilize sensors, smart phones, and mobile data terminals powered by Verizon’s 4G LTE networks. They connect dispatchers as well as databases in real-time.
Specialized services such as Wireless Priority Access (including the WPS service over VoLTE, which we have successfully implemented during the Boston Marathon), private traffic management of networks, and push-to-talk with the land-mobile radio (LMR) 2-way radio connectivity that is specifically designed for public safety.
Modern-day municipalities such as Sacramento and Boston are planning to deploy Smart Cities applications on top of the latest fiber networks to monitor essential public services, such as traffic management.
The software-defined perimeter system prevents attacks on our network and customers and helps protect our nation’s vital infrastructure.
All of them are supported by our 24/7 Verizon Technical Support teams, our dedicated local market teams, and the Law Enforcement Resource Tea, whichich is committed to helping law enforcement agencies across the nation.
Suppose an emergency weather event or other crisis occurs. In that case, We’re there with them, with mobile cell sites, command centers for emergencies, and other vital equipment needed to save lives and restore essential services. Our team was there when hurricanes like Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Matthew came through our area. We were there when wildfires devastated parts of Arizona, California, and California. When floodwaters flooded areas of Louisiana, as well as if the Oroville Dam in California was in danger of bursting, We were there. We’ll be there next time our emergency services first responders require us.
The base of the products we provide and our capability to assist those in public safety is the 2.4 million square miles 4G LTE network, which is widely regarded as the best in consumer-based research like J.D. Power and the independent test of driving such as RootMetrics. Verizon invests billions of dollars into its national networks each year. It invested more than $111 billion in its wireless network in 2000, bringing the capacity and services of its network as well as creating innovations for the future by creating tomorrow’s more powerful and faster networks, such as 5G technology which will bring first responder communication technologies to a whole new level. We have a LTE in Rural America (LRA) program designed to ensure that people in rural areas have access to these same top-of-the-line 4G LTE capabilities.
Verizon also has a well-established ecosystem of technology partners that we can rely on to help us develop other innovative technologies to assist first responders in times of need. Technologies like those on the show during Operation Convergent Response, where we showed a range of control and command solutions such as drones, robots, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, and telemedicine IoT technologies, as well as many more solutions accessible to our public safety customers today.
We’re also proud supporters of advocacy groups that promote public safety, like The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum, FBI National Academy Associates, State Chiefs of Police Association, Concerns of Police Survivors, The National Sheriff’s Association, The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives and Museum, as well as numerous others.
There’s no doubt that Verizon is the leading provider of communication services to the public and its first response partners due to our trust through decades of carrying the services we promise daily. Our commitment to our customers, as well as our communities, is never shaky. We believe that Better Matters, and there’s no greater place to be than our service to public security. We’re looking at the future with anticipation of providing public safety with new solutions and products along with our secure and reliable network coverage and the performance they demand from us, now and in the future.
