Case Study: City of Inglewood improves Super Bowl public safety communications with Verizon Frontline

Verizon Frontline helps public safety agencies keep fans and the greater community safe at Super Bowl LVI

The City of Inglewood faced the immense challenge of coordinating public safety for over 70 different agencies at Super Bowl LVI, requiring seamless communication and real-time situational awareness for thousands of first responders. The event's high-profile nature and the need for interoperability between various technologies presented significant logistical and communication hurdles.

Verizon Business addressed this through its Verizon Frontline solution, making a $119 million network investment to deploy 5G Ultra Wideband and deployable assets like COLTs and GOATs. This provided the robust, redundant, and high-speed connectivity needed for critical operations, such as streaming 4K surveillance footage. The solution was implemented in hours versus weeks, ensured a secure event with no major incidents, and left behind a lasting communications infrastructure for the community.
