Verizon Business joined forces with NASA to produce a seamless network solution, ensuring a live transmission of the 'Great American Eclipse' on April 8. Leveraging its expertise, Verizon swiftly provisioned a 1GB E-Line service from the Great Lakes Science Center to the John Glenn Space Center in under 30 days.

"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," remarked Michael Adams, associate vice president for federal civilian services at Verizon.

The collaboration highlights Verizon's pivotal role in facilitating critical infrastructure, extending its footprint beyond conventional telecommunications services.
