Verizon Frontline connects first responders at nation’s largest cross-country ski race
27 Février 2024 - 3:00PM
The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team recently completed a
deployment in support of the Sawyer and Bayfield County Sheriff’s
Offices during the 2024 American Birkebeiner race in Northern
Wisconsin.
Held annually, the American Birkebeiner is a cross-country ski
race across 50 kilometers of austere terrain stretching from Cable
to Hayward, Wis. The race attracts more than 15,000 participants
and 30,000 spectators, making it North America’s largest
cross-country ski marathon.
Prior to the start of the race, the Verizon Frontline Crisis
Response Team worked closely with race officials and local public
safety agencies to help ensure the first responders responsible for
keeping race participants and spectators safe had access to
mission-critical communications capabilities. While planning for
the event, the Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team surveyed the
remote race course and identified multiple locations where Verizon
Frontline solutions could provide or enhance connectivity. During
this year’s event, the team deployed Satellite Picocells on
Trailers (SPOTs), a Verizon Rapid Response Connectivity Unit
(RRCU), satellite uplinks, and drones to help support public safety
operations.
Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team support of first
responders during large-scale events like the American Birkebeiner
helps further strengthen the relationships Verizon Frontline has
built within the public safety community over the last 30 years
while enhancing the team’s knowledge of the ever-changing needs of
first responders.
The Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team provides on-demand,
emergency assistance during crisis situations to government
agencies, emergency responders, nonprofits and communities on a
24/7 basis. Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team members set up
portable cell sites, Wi-Fi hotspots, free charging stations and
other Verizon Frontline devices and solutions that enable
communications and/or boost network performance.

for first responders – developed over three decades of partnership
with public safety officials and agencies on the front lines – to
meet their unique and evolving needs.
