Powered in part by ST Engineering iDirect's state-of-the-art satellite communication technology, Verizon Frontline's advanced tactical assets on display include:
Tactical Humanitarian Operations Response (THOR) vehicle which is equipped with private 5G Ultra Wideband (UWB), mobile edge compute, and multiple backhaul options;

Off-Grid, Cross-Communications Network (OXEN) trailer that offers 5G UWB, 4G LTE, satellite backhaul, and solar or generator power capabilities;
Tactical Command Center that provides multiple critical communications options in a large secured workspace for 25 First Responders.
These assets, along with others on display, demonstrate how satellite-enabled connectivity ensures reliable and interoperable communications during disasters, emergencies and large-scale events, providing public safety officials a firsthand view of how satellite-enabled connectivity is transforming emergency response and public safety. The demonstration coincides with heightened safety measures in New Orleans, underscoring the importance of robust, dependable communication networks.
Darren Ludington, Regional Vice President Americas at ST Engineering iDirect, emphasized the impact of the company's contributions, Our satellite technology is a critical enabler of Verizon's mission to provide reliable, seamless connectivity for first responders when it matters most.
