Pandemic and Dangerous Weather Events Underscore Need for Seamless Interoperability Between Public Safety Agencies
Summary
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The past several months have tested first responders like never before, requiring unprecedented levels of collaboration to help their communities during the pandemic. Add to that major weather events - such as Hurricane Isaias, which recently battered the East Coast - and the ability to communicate seamlessly when coordinating urgent, large-scale responses becomes absolutely essential. “ Incidents don’t usually stop at a state’s border and neither should a first responder’s ability to communicate,” said Brad Stoddard, MPSCS director and Michigan statewide interoperability coordinator (SWIC). These capabilities are critical when an emergency strikes.” “ Seamless interoperability is no longer a promise, it’s a reality,” said Chris Lonnett, vice president of Central Region Sales, Motorola Solutions.
