Today, Verizon announced a new strategic partnership with Mutualink, making Mutualink’s interoperability-as-a-service solutions available directly through Verizon. The Mutualink solution improves collaboration across audio, video and data during emergency response using highly secure encryption and identity management. The new strategic partnership between Verizon and Mutualink will enable all community partners involved in incident response to easily create secure group communications for improved collaboration and data sharing in near real time. This improved collaboration gives agencies greater control and choice when cross-agency communications are mission critical. In addition, for first responders and state and local agencies, this partnership also simplifies the public sector procurement process by making Mutualink’s interoperability solutions available directly from Verizon.

This partnership also reinforces Verizon’s commitment to interoperability between networks, devices, and applications for first responders to help enable mission-critical communications. Verizon said it will continue to invest in advanced communications, networks and solutions built for public safety and is committed to working with the public safety community, other network operators and the entire wireless industry to promote an open and fully interoperable ecosystem that serves first responders.
