Verizon Boosts Public Safety With Axon Body 3 Connectivity
Read MoreHide Full Article
In a concerted effort to augment public safety and better support law enforcement officials with cutting-edge technology, Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Free Report) will offer seamless connectivity to body-worn cameras. The company has inked an agreement to this effect with Axon Enterprise, Inc. , a leading provider of techno-savvy products focused on law enforcement technologies, for an undisclosed amount.
Verizon will provide connectivity features to Axon’s first connected body-worn camera Axon Body 3. With attributes like live streaming, gunshot detection and the ability to preview and upload critical evidence in real time from the field, Axon Body 3 will offer an unmatched real-time situational awareness to security personnel. The product boasts a sleek yet rugged design and captures the best evidence with four built-in microphones, reduced motion blur and improved low-light performance. Axon Body 3 camera also possesses artificial intelligence capabilities for better crime solving and prevention.
Verizon will help these security features to come to life by offering its public safety private core — a software-defined network that diligently manages commercial and public safety traffic and serves as a platform for enhanced network access, secure applications and value-added services. The wireless connectivity will further enhance the safety of the officers and provide vital evidence in real time.
Leveraging the largest 4G LTE network across the country, covering more than 2.5 million square miles, Verizon will enable Axon to effectively reach to a wider population and better manage law enforcement activities. Verizon has been aggressively forging ahead to expand its fiber optics networks to support 4G LTE and upcoming 5G wireless standards as well as wireline connections.
Verizon has an attractive fundamental outlook based on increasingly favorable growth prospects for its Wireless business and the possibility of improved performance from its Wireline operations. Verizon will continue to achieve growth and profitability with a focus on gaining share in the retail post-paid market, increasing penetration of smartphones and selling more Internet devices such as tablets. Management is bullish on the industry's ability to grow revenues from smartphones, tablets and cloud computing.
Verizon has recorded an average return of 12.2% in the past year while the industry witnessed a decline of 0.3%.
ATN International has trumped earnings estimates thrice in the trailing four quarters with an average positive surprise of 146.1%.
Windstream surpassed earnings estimates twice in the trailing four quarters recording an average positive surprise of 23.5%.
Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
