19 Mars 2024 - 5:48PM
Verizon today announced it has been named to Fast Company’s
prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024.
This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are
shaping industry and culture through their innovations. These
organizations are setting new standards and achieving remarkable
milestones in all sectors of the economy. Alongside the World's 50
Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 606
organizations across 58 sectors and regions.
Verizon is being recognized as #1 in the Corporate Social
Responsibility category for its commitment to the development and
use of innovative new technology like drones, robotics and more to
help maintain mission-critical communications during disaster
response operations.
“When responsible business is at the core of operations and used
as a driver of growth and innovation, every stakeholder benefits,”
said Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO of Verizon. “We have a
long-standing commitment to innovating on behalf of the communities
we serve to keep people connected to the things that matter most
wherever and whenever they need.”
With nearly 600 deployable assets already available to support
public safety agencies and first responders nationwide, Verizon
recently debuted three new innovative deployable assets that are
highly portable and designed to deliver mission-critical
communications to first responders and the communities they
serve.
The first of the new assets is the compact Verizon Rapid
Response Connectivity Unit. 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 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.
These prototypes were created in partnership with first
responders as part of the Verizon Frontline Innovation Program.
This program is designed to develop new and unique solutions that
can leverage Verizon's network to help first responders do their
jobs more safely and efficiently.
Verizon also recently introduced another innovative new mobile
asset. Called Mobile Onsite Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), the
solution delivers a private network, private mobile edge compute
(MEC), SD WAN, and satellite connectivity to customer locations.
The 10-foot portable trailer was developed with dual-core network
capabilities supporting both 4G and 5G standalone functionality. It
also provides scalable, reliable 5G and edge compute that can be
managed locally by enterprise and public sector customers for
enhanced operational flexibility just about wherever they need
it.
The World's Most Innovative Companies stands as Fast Company's
hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial
efforts of the year.
Fast Company's editors and writers identified the companies
driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating
thousands of submissions through a competitive application process.
The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from
early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the
world. Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies package is
available online, as well as in-app form via iTunes, and on
newsstands beginning March 26. The hashtag is
#FCMostInnovative.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is both a
comprehensive look at the innovation economy and a snapshot of the
business trends that defined the year,” said Fast Company
editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “We saw extraordinary innovation
across the board in 2023, but we also saw a handful of clear
patterns: the growing footprint and impact of AI, the triumphant
return of live events, and great leaps forward in climate tech. We
face daunting challenges on many fronts, but the solutions we
celebrate in MIC give me plenty of hope about the future.”
Fast Company will host the Most Innovative Companies Summit and
Gala on May 16. The summit features a morning and afternoon of
inspiring content, followed by a creative black-tie gala including
networking, a seated dinner, and an honoree presentation. This
event celebrates the Most Innovative Companies honorees and
provides an inside look at cutting-edge business trends and what it
takes to innovate in 2024.
