IT solutions for Emergency Services
IT solutions to support the emergency services
Whether it's providing rugged devices that offer 24/7 connectivity for paramedics and police officers when they're on the move, or designing the infrastructure that'll support critical activities in a control centre, we know that the right technology is key.
BT can help to reduce costs in a sector where budgets are tightly controlled, create efficiencies, improve communication and boost productivity where it's needed most.
The Emergency Services Network (ESN)
Cutting-edge communication technology for the emergency services
As part of BT, EE was chosen by the Home Office to build the new critical 4G voice and data network for Britain’s emergency services. The Emergency Services Network (ESN) was the UK’s most comprehensive mobile rollout ever.
Over 300,000 emergency services users, including Police, Fire & Rescue and Ambulance, use the 4G voice and data services provided by the ESN. It’s also used by government agencies and other first responders like Immigration Enforcement and inshore rescue services.
The ESN continues to transform the country’s emergency services for the better, giving them cutting-edge communication technology to respond quickly to incidents in even the most rural and remote areas – helping to improve public safety.
Keeping emergency workers safe
Using EE’s network, the ESN provides secure and resilient mission-critical communications the emergency services can trust to keep them safe. It’s used by:
- Ambulances sending vital patient data to hospitals so staff can prepare for a patient’s arrival
- Police officers recording an arrest on body cams, and live streaming for assessment and support
- Fire and rescue crews assessing burning buildings, based on digital blueprints on tablets and live helicopter camera footage
