SVP from Verizon General Sector and President Verizon Fricline gave some ideas In a new interview about how Verizon It works to support the first respondents who have a reliable network connection during natural disasters and emergency situations.

It is something that we don’t always think – how our phones call during the crisis, or how the emergency teams remain in touch and coordination in the actual time. But there is a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure reliability, communication and features directed towards the future.

VerizonMaggie Hallbach, SVP of Verizon Public sector and head Verizon The front lines now give us a glimpse of what Verizon Frontline works to ensure the connection of respondents and the first agencies during a normal disaster.

First, the details of Halbakh that Verizon FrontLine makes mobile assets (devices that support communication needs for the first and more portable respondents. Hallbach says that with the development of technology and modernization, devices can be smaller and therefore can be easily spread. Moreover, more can be created thanks to the efficiency of the process.

For example, VerizonThe RRCU can be deployed in less than 15 minutes by one person and can provide a sound and internet service for the first respondents. The length of the device is about six feet and its width is two and a half feet.

RRCU supports C-BAND spectrum, 5 GG, low-Earth satellite connectivity (Leo), and medium-Earth satellite communication options (MEO). It also supports 4G LTE extensions and can benefit up to 120 active users of their communication options.

Halbach explains that these devices are as strong as a spot trailer, but the Spot trailer on trailers) is larger than RRCU. These stains were used by the first respondents during forest fires and Wi-Fi supplied with the satellite.

But this is not all. Hallbach also provides visions on how more data collected from the first respondents can be useful for the success of tasks. For example, during the fire, monitoring the vital measurements of the firefighters (actual time!) And also sending the largest possible data to 911 possible workers.

And yes, this depends on the speeds of download and fast download, which Verizon FRONTLINE team constantly improves.

Halbach says that Verizon It uses “network cutting” to ensure the priorities of respondents and public safety organizations. Note that Verizon It constantly works on experiments to ensure downloading and download speeds improve so that visions can be delivered in actual time.

Hallbach explains that the use of network cutting is different from the “priority and preparation” approach VerizonSince 2019, priority and preparation have been a guarantee that public safety organizations have a priority lane in a network. If the network is crowded, priority is given to public safety organizations and their connection to the general public.

Meanwhile, cutting the network is specific to each application. Verizon It works with many public safety applicants to improve the network, so the aforementioned application can lead exactly how, at all times.

It is interesting, according to Verizon Wiping, sound and data are the 5G features used more by respondents. 41 % use data most, while 38 % use the sound more.

As for the next Verizon Hallbach says Frontline plans are always preparing their team and learning things from large, non -emergency events such as the Bucker Balloon Festival. Halbach says that the team analyzes performance during such events and defines a road map of what to do the next time to improve it.

Finally, Hallbach emphasizes the importance of partnerships in this industry, including partnerships with government agencies. It confirms that in particular during a disaster, it is important to know exactly who must be contacted, and if they collaborate all the time, the danger of struggle to find accurate contact in the state of emergency will diminish.
