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.
