Sprint becomes the Provider of Choice for Law Enforcement

The Police, Fire Department and other emergency first responders depend on accurate and reliable emergency communications. It should come as no surprise that with Nextel Direct Connect, Sprint has been able to corner the market in public safety operations. During October 3-7 in Denver, thousands of police chiefs and emergency preparedness professionals looking for new public safety solutions will see the power of the Sprint portfolio. The 3 key ingredients to Sprint’s success are Nextel Direct Connect, Dispatch Operations and Interoperability-Integration and 4G Video Streaming. At the end of the day Sprint remains the provider of choice for law enforcement so don’t expect the chirping to stop anytime soon my friends.
