Verizon is touting a new statewide public safety wireless deal with the state of Massachusetts, which authorizes the operator to offer services to public safety through the state’s public safety-grade wireless agreement.
Verizon claimed that this is the first state and local agency multi-vendor procurement in the U.S. for public safety-grade wireless data services. For Verizon, those services include service via its private network core to handle first responders’ traffic, as well as priority and preemption capabilities.
