In crisis situations, first responders mobilize rapidly and make split-second decisions based on the best data they have at the time.
Improving speed with which critical intelligence moves and the reliability of the data increases situational awareness, enables rapid mobilization of first responder teams to ameliorate danger and save lives.
This blog post will explore how the low latency and high speed of 5G combined with multi-access edge computing (MEC) will serve first responders and the public at large.
5G will deliver speeds 10 times faster than 4G LTE and cut latency to milliseconds.
Combining 5G with multi-access edge computing (MEC), will allow first responders deploy, utilize and leverage Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and the data they generate at the edge of mobile networks.
Shifting compute functions from a centralized location to the edge of the network closer to the end user provides ultra-low latency, reliability, and scalability and enables a wide range of benefits for first responders, including real-time analytics of video surveillance, vehicle-to-vehicle communications, traffic management and a broad spectrum of other public safety functions.
To demonstrate the possibilities of the technology, Verizon has established a 5G First responder Lab with Responder Corp to serve as an incubator and testing ground for innovative technologies that can be deployed for public safety use cases.
· Blueforce Development: Solutions for integrating disparate intelligence gathering removing barriers to information sharing among responder agencies.
· Kiana Analytics: A physical safety and security platform with engagement analytics for real-time location and situational awareness.
· 5G-powered drones: Drones are used to conduct searches for missing people, delivering medical equipment to remote or compromised areas and map fire zones
