28 Mars 2023 - 6:00PM
Verizon Frontline today debuted two deployable asset prototypes
from the floor of the International Wireless Communications Expo
(IWCE), adding to its current fleet of nearly 600 deployable assets
available to support public safety agencies and first responders
nationwide.
The Verizon Frontline communications assets are highly portable
and designed to deliver mission-critical communications to first
responders where and when network connections and coverage can be
challenging or when natural disasters, such as earthquakes,
wildfires or hurricanes, have damaged existing infrastructure.
Verizon Rapid Response Connectivity
Unit
The first of the two new assets is the compact
Verizon Rapid Response Connectivity unit from Verizon Frontline.
It’s just over six-feet long, two-and-a-half-feet wide and is built
for versatility, portability and ease of use. It is designed to be
deployed by one person in fewer than 15 minutes and is capable of
delivering secure and reliable voice and internet service for first
responders under austere conditions.
The Verizon Rapid Response Connectivity Unit is
C-Band-enabled (5G) and features Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium
Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite connectivity options, a cloud-managed
firewall, a cloud-managed router/switch and 4G LTE network
extenders capable of supporting up to 120 active users.
This asset is also built on a rugged, all-terrain
motorized carriage, includes a gasoline generator with an extra
five-gallon fuel tank and functions at nearly any altitude, in
nearly any climate.
Verizon Frontline’s Mobile Connectivity
Agile Vehicle
The second new asset is Verizon Frontline’s Mobile
Connectivity Agile Vehicle, a modified electric motorcycle capable
of providing first responders with mission-critical communications
capabilities when operating in areas that traditional vehicles and
larger deployable assets can’t reach.
For example, the Mobile Connectivity Agile Vehicle
is able to navigate narrow, hard-to-access trails to provide
wildland firefighters deep in a forest with satellite connectivity
directly on the front lines.
In addition to its satellite capabilities, the
Mobile Connectivity Agile Vehicle is also equipped with a cellular
network extender and WiFi router to help provide public safety
agencies with critical voice and data service during emergency
response operations.
Verizon Frontline is the advanced network and
technology built for first responders – developed over nearly three
decades of partnership with public safety officials and agencies on
the front lines – to meet their unique and evolving needs.
