Connected EMS Fleets Powered by Ericsson Routers

Connectivity is the Backbone for Modern Emergency Response

Enhance patient and first responder capabilities with reliable 5G

In emergency response, interruption of service isn’t an inconvenience; it can be life-threatening. First responders rely on secure, high-speed 5G and LTE connectivity to access critical information and communicate in real time. Today’s emergency vehicles serve as mobile command centers, providing always-on access to tools such as Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), GPS navigation, electronic patient care reporting, live video, and vehicle telemetry. As agencies adopt more technologies to enhance patient care, dependable networking infrastructure is essential to support mission-critical operations in the field.

Nearly 80% of first responders prioritize a reliable and resilient network for daily communications, while connected vehicles rank among the industry’s leading technology investments.¹ This becomes especially important for agencies serving rural communities, which account for approximately 73% of more than 23,000 ambulances in the U.S. In these areas, transporting a patient to the nearest hospital can take hours, requiring EMTs and paramedics to deliver advanced care and stabilize patients while en route.² Connectivity is what EMS personnel rely on to maintain communication with dispatch, transmit patient information to receiving hospitals, and access critical applications throughout the entire transport, regardless of location.

That’s why NEWCOM partners with Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions to help public safety agencies deploy secure, resilient connectivity solutions tailored to their operational needs. Whether equipping a small fleet or delivering a large-scale statewide deployment, our team provides the expertise to design, implement, and support connected vehicle solutions that keep first responders connected wherever the job takes them.
