Verizon (VZ) Solution Aids NASA's Broadcasting Capability
Read MoreHide Full Article
Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Free Report) announced that NASA has opted to utilize its network solution for live broadcasting of solar eclipse on Apr 8. The connectivity provided by Verizon will enable NASA to stream multiple video feeds from various locations across the United States. These feeds, which include telescope views and broadcast commentary, will be presented to NASA viewers worldwide.
Being a major technology partner for the federal government and various public safety agencies, Verizon is recognized for its vital role in supporting civil servants, educators and fast responders in diverse scenarios such as neutralizing cyber threats, modernizing digital infrastructure and more.
In this venture, Verizon has provisioned the 1GB E-Line service from the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland to the John Glenn Space Center. The provisioning effort was accomplished rapidly, within just 30 days, ensuring ample time for NASA to thoroughly assess video and broadcast applications ahead of the eclipse. Verizon's public sector team demonstrated impressive capability in meeting the tight deadline, highlighting the company’s operational efficiency and solid foundation in innovation.
Verizon boasts a strong pipeline of orders from several government entities. This includes a $15 million task order with the U.S. Navy and a nearly $450 million expansion of its existing partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers and healthcare facilities. The collaboration with NASA further solidifies Verizon's reputation as a trusted partner for federal agencies. This will likely improve net sales in the Verizon Business segment in the upcoming quarters.
With one of the most efficient wireless networks in the United States, Verizon continues to deploy the latest 4G LTE Advanced technologies to deliver faster peak data speeds and capacity for customers, driven by customer-focused planning, disciplined engineering and constant strategic investment. Verizon has been aggressively forging ahead to expand its fiber optics networks to support 4G LTE and 5G wireless standards, as well as wireline connections.
The company remains focused on making necessary capital expenditures due to the continued expansion of 5G mmWave in new and existing markets, the densification of the 4G LTE wireless network to cater to huge traffic demands across multiple verticals and the continued deployment of the fiber infrastructure.
Verizon’s 5G mobility service offers an unmatched experience that impacts industries as diverse as public safety, health care, retail and sports. The company’s 5G network hinges on three fundamental drivers to deliver the full potential of next-generation wireless technology. These include massive spectrum holdings, particularly in the millimeter-wave bands for faster data transfer, end-to-end deep fiber resources and the ability to deploy a large number of small cells.
The stock has gained 6.6% over the past year compared with the industry’s rise of 1.6%.
