Simplifi has confirmed that its Connect II Router is certified and approved for use on FirstNet.

The union means that first responders can use the device to tap into specialised capabilities designed to meet their needs on the FirstNet Network.

The Simplifi Connect II Router with Simplifi Voicelink allows the emergency services to establish a secure connection to the internet and opens a direct line of communication of analogue devices.

Nick Shevillo, CEO of Simplifi, said: “Our collaboration with FirstNet could not have come at a better time.

“Working closely with FirstNet, Simplifi provides a highly scalable, simple-to-install LTE Router and traditional phone Line replacement solution managed remotely through Simplifi Cloud.

“Our products provide first responders and emergency teams with easy-to-deploy LTE connectivity and traditional phone line replacement while supporting the transition to more advanced technologies for mission-critical systems.

“Simplifi’s Connect II Router, Voicelink Smart Adaptor, and Simplifi Cloud management tools reduce installation and maintenance costs by up to 75% and the overall cost of network ownership by as much as 50%.”

FirstNet is the only network built with and for America’s first responders.

It allows first responders to communicate easily and quickly during everyday situations, big events or emergencies.

The Simplifi Connect II Router will allow response teams to install a dedicated communications network anywhere within two minutes.

Matt Walsh, assistant vice president, product management and development, FirstNet Program at AT&T, commented: “FirstNet devices and modules go through an extensive review, so first responders can be confident that Simplifi’s Connect II Router meets our highest standards for reliability, security and performance.

“The more tools public safety has access to on their network, the more we can help them achieve their mission.”

Before being approved for use on FirstNet, devices are subjected to hundreds of tests that cover a number of different aspects.

Areas such as security, durability and possible network impacts are all looked at before it is certified to be deployed to first responders.
