*2020-04-28 · On-Demand*

## Event description

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, police and fire departments, EMS, military units, and other emergency response organizations face unprecedented challenges. Mobile network connectivity is of the utmost importance in a crisis —enabling highly reliable access to critical applications, near real-time communications, and data from IoT devices such as surveillance cameras. Whether deployed in a pop-up site, vehicle, or mobile command center, wireless networks with FirstNet cellular connectivity are essential to a safe and effective response.
