Verizon and Motorola Solutions announced the availability of a new vehicle-based modem that will enable first responders and emergency personnel to tap the power of 4G LTE mobile broadband.

Designed to operate on the Verizon 4G LTE wireless network and LTE-based public safety broadband networks, the VML 700 LTE Vehicle Modem R1.1 will support a broad array of applications, such as ultra-fast database access, photos and streaming video, to help first responders obtain the information needed to respond to emergencies and routine activities.

The following use cases highlight some of the ways that first responders and emergency personnel in the field can leverage the Motorola Solutions VML 700 LTE Vehicle Modem R1.1 on the Verizon 4G LTE wireless network.

• Emergency Medical Technicians: While en route to the hospital with an injured person, emergency medical technicians can securely access the system housing the patient’s electronic medical record, and relay vital statistics and even video to hospital personnel so they can be prepared to administer the appropriate patient treatment when the ambulance arrives.
• Public Safety Personnel: Police officers on patrol can quickly scan license plates, access databases containing suspect photos, and stream video from crime scenes and emergencies to aid in situational awareness.
• Firefighters: Firefighters responding to fire or accident scenes can reference databases to verify the presence of hazardous materials to help determine whether nearby residents need to be evacuated, and protect and prepare those responding to the emergency.

In addition, the vehicle-based modem can be used by federal government personnel involved with border patrol, harbor and waterway safety, and transportation system security.
