Verizon (NYSE:VZ) on Wednesday announced a list of five participating companies for the first cohort of its 5G First Responder Lab that seeks to enable 5G technology to first responders.
As quoted in the text release:
“5G is transformative and will bring new possibilities in technology,” said Nick Nilan, director of public sector product development, Verizon. “The companies chosen for the 5G First Responder Lab could bring unseen, potentially life-saving innovations to public safety.”
Located in the company’s 5G DC Lab at Alley – a membership community for entrepreneurs – in Washington DC, the 5G First Responder Lab will bring together a total of 15 innovators in three separate cohorts to develop public safety solutions over a one-year period. Each three-month cohort will give five first responder technology developers access to the lab and its 5G network, and also the opportunity to collaborate with Verizon and Responder Corp on 5G use case testing, insight creation, and go-to-market strategies.
“We’re thrilled to announce the first cohort of this program and to be working with a handful of companies that give first responders a clear advantage and a team of entrepreneurs that are committed to getting that edge into the field as fast as possible,” said Bryce Stirton, co-founder & president, Responder Corp. “There’s a clear excitement in the Program to experience how 5G will bring these already powerful solutions to new heights. There’s even more excitement to see how these 5G enabled technologies will help first responders.”
Cohort 1 Participants:
- Adcor Magnetic Systems: Sensors to detect, identify, track and correlate on a digital 3D environment
- Aerial Applications: Drone solutions to turn visual data into actionable insights
- Blueforce Development: Situational awareness solutions and sensors to enhance field operations and communication
- Kiana Analytics: A physical safety and security platform with engagement analytics for real-time location/situational awareness
- Qwake Technologies: Augmented reality products to help firefighters see in smoke-filled, zero-visibility, hazardous environments
Chosen from an applicant pool of more than 50 companies, the participants in the first cohort of the program were selected based on their ability to enhance one or more of four phases of capability focus areas:
1. Ready – Enhancing first responder’s ability to prepare for and prevent an emergency
2. Respond – Improving the way first responders react to, manage, and execute during a lifesaving emergency event
3. Recover – Resources to help communities return to normal following disaster events
4. Rebuild – Hardening defense systems and applying lessons from previous disaster events to prevent future loss
