FREMONT, CA: A new wireless solution for first responders has improved mission-critical communications services. UScellular and Tango Tango have partnered to enhance radio coverage, facilitate agency collaboration, and increase the life of public safety land mobile radio (LMR) systems.
Tango Tango's innovative networking, mobile, and cloud technologies, combined with UScellular's wireless network, help to enhance the coverage and abilities of a conventional LMR system, making it perfect for push-to-talk services used by police fire and emergency services.
"Agencies who depend on our fast, reliable, wireless network can keep better connected with the addition of Tango Tangos affordable and simple communication solution," said Kimberly Green-Kerr, senior vice president of enterprise sales and operations at UScellular. "We are pleased to add Tango Tango to our Critical Connectivity portfolio of solutions. UScellular customers will benefit from more efficient agency operations, improved response times, and the right communications tools to keep teams connected when they need it most."
First responders from various agencies who utilize the Tango Tango app can work together more simply by connecting nearly any smartphone or tablet through the cellular network to radio frequencies used by police, fire, and emergency services. Likewise, when groups from the same agency are outside the radio range, they can better communicate.
"We've been able to expand and strengthen those departments whove experienced diminished communication capabilities in the past," said Beck Mitchell, vice president of sales, Tango Tango. "Our relationship with UScellular will only reinforce this service offerigng and provide their current customers the opportunity for enhanced interoperability."
Users are no longer constrained by the geographic footprint of their conventional radio system, which can be restricted in range and interrupted by rural or hilly terrain. Priority services, push-to-talk, secure private networks, and improved land mobile radio (LMR) interoperability are all available through UScellular Critical Connectivity solutions, which may be combined with unlimited data plans, rugged devices, and disaster response for keeping teams better connected.
