First responders in emergencies often send video and data to other public safety officials as they call for backup. The U.S. government wants a dedicated broadband network to ensure that these critical data feeds don’t compete with interference from consumers using their mobile devices.
Motorola and Verizon Wireless are working with state, local, and national agencies to create an open-standards LTE network and a portfolio of devices for public safety officials to deploy with that network. Deer Grewal, executive account manager for LTE at Motorola Solutions, and Tony Martwick, public safety vertical technology/solutions manager at Verizon, presented an overview of their public safety LTE network at the RCR Wireless Conference Orange County.
