M2M Solutions for Government Brief

Machine-to-machine (M2M) technology is transforming government by enabling the exchange of data between departments and remote assets, so you can analyze and execute actionable intelligence. Verizon enables M2M solutions for government that help:

• Increase operational efficiencies by monitoring, controlling and managing remote assets.
• Accelerate decision making and response times to improve communications.
• Increase safety of field personnel with near real-time tracking and communications

Verizon brings together services, critical partners and a wealth of network experience to help you get your machine-to-machine solution in place—fast.

We team with top vertical-solution providers and strategic partners to enable M2M solutions over America’s largest 4G LTE network.

Our vendors have modules that are certified to run on our data network for a broad portfolio of M2M solutions.

Because your business needs are unique, Verizon and its Partner Program members and Open Development providers offer a variety of solutions with different connectivity options. For static devices with low-bandwidth requirements, 2G or 3G connectivity is the right option for the price.

Other uses, like streaming surveillance video, benefit from 4G LTE. With Verizon vendors, you have choices to enable the right solution for your network connectivity.

The Verizon Open Development program is designed to allow and encourage the development community to create new devices and bring these to the market on the Verizon Wireless network. Our network currently has more than 7 million M2M connections and counting. Verizon Open Development providers can help you create cutting-edge M2M solutions for your business and customers.

Every organization can benefit from smart alliances. That’s why we’ve teamed with leading solution providers to promote a range of innovative M2M solutions that can help you transform your agency and drive efficiency into your processes. Plus we provide the expertise and experience you need to help you manage your solution from planning to implementation.

For government agencies, we have included a sampling of solutions from our Partner Program members, Open Development programs and strategic partners.

Tracking solutions from Actsoft and Trimble increase visibility into vehicle location, mobile workforces, equipment, supplies and shipments. This can help protect your assets from being damaged, lost or stolen. And it helps control operating costs by using in-field mobile forms to capture fuel consumption, time cards and report data.

Blueforce Development solutions enable secure information sharing and enhanced presence among national security teams, disaster response units and defense agencies.

A key component, wireless sensor networking, helps mitigate threats to people, national borders and critical infrastructure. And electronic offender monitoring and tracking from BI Incorporated helps improve law enforcement effectiveness and control costs.

Lextech Labs and Global Relief Technologies (GRT) have C4ISR solutions that collect and distribute near real-time information for better situational awareness and more effective decision making. Response teams can collect and share data and video feeds to improve reaction time and control operating costs. The GRT Rapid Data Management System (RDMS) enables organizations to rapidly collect, collaborate and analyze data from the field, and offers a concise package that is easy to use and deploy.

Public health solutions from Entra Health Systems and Amcom Software provide advanced options for monitoring and communicating changes in patient conditions within the hospital and at home. The result is more-connected care teams that include patients, service providers and caregivers.

Fast access to important patient data and encrypted information sharing enables relevant patient details to be shared properly.
