Naval Base Coronado and Verizon celebrate small-cell deployment
24 May 2019 - 2:38AM
Our military and first responders need reliable, secure
connectivity. That is why Verizon and Naval Base Coronado are proud
to announce the installation of a new wireless small-cell
deployment at Naval Air Station North Island, Naval Amphibious Base
and San Clemente Island. This mission-critical communications
partnership expands capabilities for tactical and public safety
operations, and improves connectivity for on-base tenant commands
and residents.
“This is a great step in the evolution of mission-critical
communications on-base,” said Captain Timothy Slentz, commanding
officer, Naval Air Station North Island. “Through this partnership,
we are building a more responsive, agile and secure network that
will help meet our communications needs, even as technology
continues to advance.”
The Verizon design provides a dedicated cellular network for
day-to-day operations as well as emergencies. Naval Base Coronado
is one of the first naval installations in the region to lay the
groundwork for Verizon 4G LTE small-cell wireless technology, which
will help enable future 5G technologies for Smart Shore
Initiatives.
“With decades of experience working with military and federal
agencies, Verizon is uniquely positioned to partner with the Navy
to build a network infrastructure that meets its critical needs,”
said Mike Maiorana, senior vice president, public sector, Verizon.
“This investment further solidifies Verizon’s commitment to the
mission needs of the Navy.”
Verizon powers the nation’s largest 4G LTE network, covering
more than 2.5 million square miles and more than 98 percent of
Americans with a more than 450,000 square mile coverage advantage
over the nearest competitor. Since 2000, Verizon has invested more
than $145 billion in its network. Verizon is a leader in wireless
innovation and we will continue to bring that innovation to address
the challenges that our military, government, public safety
agencies and first responders face every day.
