Verizon and Motorola Solutions will deliver VML 700 LTE Vehicle Modem R1.1.
The modem will operate on the Verizon 4G LTE wireless network and LTE-based public safety broadband networks such as FirstNet.
Currently Verizon’s 4G LTE network is available in 500 markets across the U.S. and covers more than 298 million people, delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G.
Field-based emergency medical technicians using the Motorola Solutions modem on Verizon’s 4G LTE network can access the system housing a patient’s electronic medical records and relay vital statistics and video to hospital personnel.
“Verizon and Motorola Solutions are working together to deliver a powerful, custom-built mobile broadband solution for first responders that enables the information sharing and collaboration capabilities critical to effective emergency response,” said Dominic DeMark, area vice president, public safety markets, Verizon Enterprise Solutions.
The VML 700 LTE Vehicle Modem R1.1 can also serve as a mobile Wi-Fi hot spot, enabling first responders near the modem to connect their own Wi-Fi-enabled 4G LTE devices.
“The combination of advanced technical features, such as multi-network operation and roaming, support for LTE-based public safety broadband networks, and the reach and reliability of Verizon’s 4G LTE network will provide first responders with the connectivity they need in coordinating activities on a local, regional and national level,” said Rishi Bhaskar, vice president, private broadband sales, Motorola Solutions.
