Choosing the right public safety network can be complex — but you don’t have to navigate it alone. In this session at IWCE, Ericsson Cradlepoint and Verizon Frontline will act as your guide, walking you step-by-step through a clear Good, Better, Best decision framework that aligns your unique mission requirements with the right connectivity solution.

We’ll cover how to address coverage gaps, maintain application sessions during connectivity disruptions, connect to public safety network slices, and integrate dual-SIM failover or LEO/Satellite paths for added resilience. We’ll outline captive modem strategies and discuss practical security and bonding options to ensure uptime even in challenging conditions. Public safety agencies across the nation rely on a reliable, resilient network to complete their missions, whether they’re training for what could happen or responding to what is happening. Verizon Frontline is built to withstand the chaos our first responders know well. By the end of the session, you’ll not only understand the available technologies, but you’ll know exactly where you fit on the Good, Better, Best spectrum based on your budget, operational needs, and risk tolerance.
