From FirstNet to Starlink: What’s New on Aprisa LTE/5G

Webinar On-Demand: Always-On Connectivity for Public Safety & Critical Infrastructure

Aprisa LTE/5G’s new Starlink® failover, VRF security, and dual-router resilience — explained by Aviat’s product team.

A patrol car crossing from a city grid onto a rural highway shouldn’t lose its dispatch feed, its license plate reader, or its officer’s location. That’s the gap this webinar tackles.

In our recent session, John Yaldwyn, Aviat’s Senior Director of Product Line Management for Access, walked through what’s new on Aprisa LTE/5G — the FirstNet®-Trusted certified router built for public safety and critical infrastructure vehicles. The recording is now available on demand.

What is Aprisa LTE/5G?

Aprisa LTE/5G is Aviat’s FirstNet-Trusted certified router built for public safety and critical infrastructure vehicles.

What you’ll Learn in this webinar

Satellite failover, live in the field.

Aprisa LTE/5G automatically fails over to Starlink® or Amazon Leo® when terrestrial 4G/5G coverage drops — already proven in a real deployment with the Mexico City police during the FIFA World Cup™.

Companion Mode keeps vehicles online.

Active-active dual-router support with up to four SIMs means a single router failure won’t take the vehicle offline, and GPS location reporting keeps working too.

Aviat VRFprotect isolates sensitive traffic.

Layer-3 traffic isolation keeps NCIC/CJIS access, body-cam uploads, and third-party vendor traffic walled off from each other on the same router.

Aprisa LTE/5G costs less over time than other leading providers in the market.

A side-by-side CAPEX/OPEX comparison shows how Aviat’s pricing model compounds savings over time instead of locking agencies into annual subscriptions.

Support is 24x7x365 and based in Texas.

Hardware is built and supported in the USA.

If you manage connectivity for a public safety fleet — or a utility network facing the same CJIS-style security pressure — this is 40 minutes worth carving out.
