Verizon announced the availability of the Verizon Frontline Network Slice in select markets nationwide, continuing to build on the company's more than 30-year history of cutting-edge innovation in support of nation's first responders. The Verizon Frontline Network Slice is a 5G Ultra Wideband (UW) virtual network slice completely dedicated to public safety that allows for the allocation of network resources within Verizon's network infrastructure. This helps provide first responders several key advantages including (but not limited to): Dedicated 5G UW network capacity reserved exclusively for first responders, helping ensure network resource availability, priority and enhanced quality of service; Tailored performance for critical applications and devices to help ensure data traffic is optimized for the operational needs of first responders; Enhanced reliability which significantly reduces the risk of disruption to mission-critical communications even during periods of high network congestion; Flexible scalability allowing Verizon to efficiently allocate dedicated network resources in real-time based on the operational needs of first responders.
