Verizon continues to show its commitment to the Peach State by supporting public safety organizations across the state and introducing breakthrough technologies to Atlanta locals and tourists.
In Georgia, by 2021, the Verizon Frontline Response Team provided mission-critical communications capabilities to frontline first responders in numerous emergency response operations. About 130 Verizon Frontline equipment and solutions were deployed in support of Georgia’s state and local public safety agencies, including mobile hotspots, routers, smart devices, drones, and deployable satellite systems such as Satellite Picocells on Trailers (SPOTs).
The COVID-19 vaccination campaign and large public gatherings were just some of the things the Verizon Frontline Response Team helped Georgia’s first responders with. For example, the team was asked to assist the Newnan, Georgia, Department of Public Works and the Coweta County Emergency Management Agency in the wake of a tornado that devastated the area in March 2021. The team was also asked to assist at a benefit concert held months later to help the same community recover.
Since the Verizon Frontline Response Team has previously participated in numerous public security operations and training exercises with the public security authorities in Georgia, this support has continued into 2022. As part of Verizon Frontline’s ongoing commitment to invest in and innovate in partnership with public safety and government, this ongoing support is provided free of charge to local agencies.
