Verizon and Motorola Solutions bring interoperable broadband communications to public safety
08 Dicembre 2020 - 3:00PM
Verizon Public Sector and Motorola Solutions today announce Group
First Response, a mission-critical push-to-talk solution that
leverages LTE to enable first responders to communicate seamlessly
via voice, data and video across a variety of devices -- improving
situational awareness and operational efficiency. Group First
Response can be integrated with land mobile radio (LMR) systems,
extending interoperable push-to-talk communications to public
safety users without radios or outside coverage areas.
Group First Response is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) standards for mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT)
communication, which include quality of service and network
priority and preemption for public safety, as well as fast setup
time. In addition, Group First Response complements the
capabilities provided by LMR networks, providing multimedia
messaging, mission-critical data and live video streaming. Using
Motorola Solutions’ Critical Connect service, which is based on a
cloud-based interoperability gateway and infrastructure, Group
First Response provides MCPTT functionality to those outside of an
LMR network, so that first responders have more ways to communicate
critical information and formulate faster, more effective
responses. By augmenting public safety LMR networks with solutions
like Group First Response, it relieves capacity on an agency’s
primary radio system, providing additional security, coverage, and
most importantly, redundancy.
“For first responders, the ability to
communicate using text, voice and video is essential to protecting
the citizens they are duty-bound to serve and themselves,” said
Vickie Lonker, vice president public sector product development at
Verizon. “Group First Response leverages Verizon’s award-winning 4G
LTE network, providing interoperability and critical communications
features needed in mission-critical situations.”
With Group First Response, end users can make secure group and
private calls via voice and video, share files and multimedia, and
use features such as role-based logins, which are configured to
give them the right features, contacts and talkgroups based on
different roles. In addition, dispatchers can initiate on-the-fly
group calls, demand or request video, see location and location
history, and create area-based talkgroups.
“Public safety agencies rely on LMR for reliable and resilient
voice communications and also recognize the situational insights
and operational efficiencies that LTE data can offer,” said John
Zidar, senior vice president, Global Enterprise & Channels,
Motorola Solutions. “Multimedia interoperability across networks
and devices is increasingly crucial, and the introduction of Group
First Response gives first responders the most feature-rich,
carrier-integrated MCPTT solution on the market for unprecedented
awareness and collaboration.”
Group First Response is available today. Existing Push-to-Talk
Plus customers can easily upgrade their service on the same
platform without re-enrolling or replacing devices, and the two
offerings will interoperate. Visit the Verizon website to learn
