An alliance was announced Wednesday between Motorola Solutions and Verizon Wireless, providing LTE broadband solutions in the 700 MHz band. Funding issues often cause agencies to delay construction and interoperability, or drastically reduce the scale of their initial broadband wireless buildouts. Public-safety customers will have the ability to leverage LTE applications across Verizon's commercial network as a coordinated supplement to a private LTE network and roaming partner when the private network is not available.
“The solution that we’ve worked out with Verizon is to … offer customers the ability of a nationwide, enhanced carrier roaming package that pre-negotiates the technical and some of the business interfaces between private and public networks,” said Rick Keith, Motorola Solutions senior director of LTE product management, according to Urgent Communications. “So, we can facilitate nationwide roaming, we can put in real-time device application control and management and be able to facilitate procedural operations on handsets, whether they’re in public networks or in private networks, so they get a very similar experience.”
Users roaming between private Public Safety networks and Verizon's LTE systems, Motorola devices will be able to operate on the band 14 spectrum, as well as Band 13 Frequencies from Verizon in the 700 MHz band. Also, 2G/3G and Wi-Fi technology will be other enhancements.
