Capita plc has secured a £700,000 three-year contract renewal, with East Coast and Hertfordshire Control Room Consortium to manage their shared wide area network (WAN) that supports Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire, Humberside and Norfolk fire and rescue services.

Capita’s WAN enables all four fire services to share a common network infrastructure, helping to facilitate greater operational efficiency across the consortium. The network connectivity enables the fire services to take emergency calls and mobilise resources to manage incidents, supporting communities within the consortium’s service areas.
