AirLink Managed Network Service with FirstNet
connectivity brings public safety agencies a robust, out-of-the-box
solution for improved operational efficiencies and quick access to
critical capabilities
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today announced the
launch of its AirLink® Managed Network Service with embedded
FirstNet® connectivity. This bundled solution will help public
safety agencies of all sizes take advantage of the benefits and
capabilities enabled by FirstNet-connected solutions.
The AirLink Managed Network Service expands the breadth of
Sierra Wireless’ solutions that are compatible with FirstNet,
providing a complete, managed solution with FirstNet connectivity,
proactive device management, 24/7/365 technical support and a
purpose-built FirstNet Ready™ mobile router in a single package.
This eliminates the complexity of maintaining a fleet of mobile
devices and enables agencies to resolve device availability and
issues up to 50 percent faster. The service also delivers increased
security in an end-to-end solution with Sierra Wireless’ secure
private network architecture and by ensuring devices always have
the latest security updates installed.
Sold as a subscription service, the AirLink Managed Network
Service provides an easy and affordable way for public safety
agencies on tight budgets to transform their operations with
leading technologies, rolling FirstNet connectivity for critical
communications, situational awareness capabilities and the ability
to maintain their fleet of devices at peak performance into one low
monthly fee.
Bob Sloan, Chief Operating Officer, FirstNet Program at
AT&T, said: “By embedding FirstNet connectivity into the
AirLink Managed Network Service, public safety agencies can enjoy
an end-to-end solution straight out of the box – accelerating their
access to reliable, unthrottled connectivity and the advanced
capabilities they need to help save lives. This collaboration with
Sierra Wireless not only gives public safety agencies more ways to
gain access to the FirstNet communications platform, but it’s also
a cost-effective way to equip agencies with the critical tools they
need and trust to help them accomplish their mission.”
Tom Mueller, Vice President, Enterprise Solutions, Sierra
Wireless, said: “Public safety organizations in the U.S. need
solutions that can be deployed out-of-the-box to securely connect
lifesaving technologies to FirstNet. Sierra Wireless’ AirLink
Managed Network Service provides the expertise many agencies need –
a tightly integrated and managed solution that’s pre-provisioned
for FirstNet and 24/7 services that ensure network uptime and
availability to guarantee that devices in the field stay connected
when they’re needed most.”
The AirLink Managed Network Service provides all the features
that have made AirLink the number one choice for public safety
agencies, including reliable and rugged AirLink routers, 24/7/365
technical support and more than 20 years of IoT security
experience. With built-in FirstNet connectivity, it provides public
safety agencies with reliable connectivity they can count on for
mission-critical applications.
