Reliable Mobile Connectivity Keeps Sheriff’s Deputies Safer in Coweta County, Georgia
The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office serves the citizens of Coweta County, Georgia, and relies on continuous connectivity to ensure the safety of its deputies. To achieve this, the sheriff’s office needed a new approach.
Improving Communication with First Responders
Communication with first responders is an absolute must for sheriff’s deputies serving Coweta County. However, there was a time when a crashing VPN was causing frustrating communication outages that prevented front-line personnel from receiving vital alerts. This situation had the potential to leave deputies in a position where they could not be sure whether a vehicle’s driver was armed and dangerous. For the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office, network connectivity was a mission-critical problem that had to be solved.
I can easily track things like launch counts, usage details, battery status, terminations, and network errors. We have yet to see the 'No logon servers' message.
