Operation Convergent Response 2017: Keeping First Responders Safer Through Technology

blog-post-1Earlier this month, Verizon, a long time iDirect customer, along with technology partners, law enforcement, and state and local officials, came together for #OCR2017 to demonstrate how technology can help first responders during simulated crises such as tornadoes, a chemical plant collapse, floods and explosions.

iDirect is proud to support Verizon in this effort to enable first responders and disaster recovery units around the world utilize satellite technology. Whether using unmanned aircraft such as drones, or robots that can make the way through tight spaces where humans can’t, iDirect’s satellite technology platform can be depended upon to be easily deployable, flexible, and always connected.

The outcome of #OCR2017 was a blend of global technologies and people that proved working together before a disaster happens in real life will help save more lives in the event of true disaster.
