Today, Struble and his team help ensure communications get to the right people through Verizon’s mission critical push to talk (MCPTT) solution, Push to Talk Responder, which allows responders using rugged smartphones like Samsun g’s Galaxy XCover Pro to quickly establish group communications over a 4G LTE network. In the past, first-responders relied on Land Mobile Radio (LMR) to enable communications during emergencies, but limitations in LMR’s capacity, coverage and interoperability hindered the flow of critical information. Scenes are often still developing, chaotic and dangerous, and coordinating across agencies is crucial. “Our philosophy,” said Struble, “is every second counts.” Their work is also resource-critical. “At the end of the day,” Struble explained, “if they can’t communicate, they can’t fight the battle down range.” As the senior manager for Crisis Response and Critical Communication at Verizon, Earle Struble’s job is to lead his team to the center of major public safety crises - like hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires - and ensure the first responders on the ground are able to communicate effectively.
