25 September 2017
Espoo, Finland - Nokia is expanding its ViTrust critical
communications portfolio with new services to help first responders
take advantage of reliable and secure high-performance applications
on their public safety devices. The services provide trouble-free
continuity of operations for public safety agencies across a
multi-vendor, multi-technology mission critical communications
environment.
Nokia's device software customization service will help
accelerate agency adoption of new AndroidTM-based devices for first
responders. Nokia's experts design and develop secure custom device
firmware with tailor-made user experience adaptations and
enhancements for public safety operations. First responders benefit
from a familiar interface designed to provide vital information at
a glance, saving time in emergency situations when every second
counts.
Nokia's expertise in end-to-end LTE solutions across devices,
operating systems, applications and network nodes assures extreme
performance and reliability for real-time video and other
mission-critical broadband applications, integrated with
custom-built firmware. The build is hardened for security and
incorporates features like device data encryption and controlled
access to external sources like application stores.
Care for public safety is a service to ensure that the
most demanding communications needs of public safety organizations
are fulfilled. Nokia ensures that new network functionality and
services interworking with multivendor LTE networks are available
from day one. Leveraging its extensive services expertise, Nokia
will provide enhanced local and launch support, compliant with
regulatory, security and confidentiality requirements while
ensuring the rapid, low-risk deployment of new technologies and
skills. One European operator is already using this service and
seeing the benefits of reduced operational and downtime risks, with
service levels stabilizing faster than before and fulfilling public
safety requirements.
In addition to these two new services, Nokia's innovations for
public safety also include rapid verification of mission-critical
network coverage levels along major roads and railway tracks by
mining crowd-sourced performance data using the Nokia AVA
platform.
Asad Rizvi, head of Nokia's global business development in
Global Services, said: "The success of moving to
broadband-based critical communications requires deep technological
and operational expertise. Nokia has both, from our long history of
working with agencies to our global service expertise in broadband.
We understand the need for smooth evolution, field-proven
usability, assured reliability and performance with comprehensive
security measures. Leveraging our systems experience, technical
expertise and in-house tools, these new services address agency
specific requirements to help public safety agencies rapidly adopt
and take advantage of the possibilities of mission critical
broadband."
