Verizon Business provides NASA with a network solution to allow for a live broadcast of solar eclipse
05 April 2024 - 2:30PM
Verizon Business has partnered with NASA to provide a network
solution that will allow for a live broadcast of the solar eclipse
on April 8. Verizon Business, with essential support from Leidos,
provisioned 1GB E-Line service from the Great Lakes Science Center
in Cleveland to the John Glenn Space Center. This provisioning
effort was accomplished in fewer than 30 days, which is key, as it
has enabled NASA to thoroughly test video and broadcast
applications in advance of the eclipse.
"This project is yet another example of the ability of our
public sector team to deliver the types of solutions and technology
that have helped make us a trusted partner for federal agencies
like NASA,” said Michael Adams, associate vice president for
federal civilian services at Verizon. “Our team's ability to meet
this tight deadline helped ensure that NASA will be able to
broadcast the eclipse to all who wish to watch and experience this
unique event.”
This connectivity will enable NASA to bring in multiple video
feeds from across the United States, including telescope views and
broadcast commentary, which are combined to deliver the broadcast
to NASA viewers around the world.
Verizon is a major technology partner to the federal government.
Recent awards include a $15 million task order with the U.S. Navy’s
Morale, Welfare, and Recreation agency to upgrade communications
infrastructure, and a nearly $450 million expansion of its existing
partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical
centers and healthcare facilities to supply mobile devices and
mission-critical communications from Verizon Frontline to support
during the VA’s disaster recovery missions and other
emergencies.
