Many public safety agencies go with Verizon because they’re the only carrier that has service out in the middle of nowhere. These fires aren’t in San Jose, they’re all over the state. California fire pulls from local agencies when the wildfires get massive and rely on exactly these kinds of mobile command trucks to coordinate the efforts.
Project Fi is a joke when it comes to coverage.
I truly don’t see why Verizon didn’t just waive the caps for this one SIM card. Ridiculous and it’s a huge PR shitstorm for them. (Not that I’m crying, they suck.)
- mywittyname 8y agoVerizon also owns the lower-frequency bands that are better able to penetrate buildings.
- delbel 8y agoI think there is an entire 100mhz frequency band chunk just for emergency services. It should be the other way around, when there is no emergency Verizon should be able to use this (35 mi LTE at 600mhz anyone?) and when there is an emergency, it should be exclusive to emergency services. The military should be running these forest fires anyway with a dozen C130/727 flying non-stop around the country.
