Security Enhancement Systems Earns FirstNet Verified Designation

Following a rigorous review process, the SES Remote Access Control App is now FirstNet® Verified™ and accessible via the FirstNet App Catalog.

The Security Enhancement Systems (SES) Remote Access Control solution protects remote cell sites with its secure mobile app, enterprise software, and smart digital locks integrated to grant, manage, and record access to a cell site. Regardless of the network condition, weather, or emergency situation, the SES Remote Access Control App enables first responders, authorized employee field technicians, and approved vendor technicians to use their mobile devices to quickly and securely access cell sites.

FirstNet – America's public safety communications platform – features the first-ever App Catalog geared to first responders, featuring more than 190 apps relevant to public safety's mission. This gives FirstNet subscribers a dedicated location to find meaningful new solutions that have been specifically reviewed for use with FirstNet services. Before any mobile solution can be added to the FirstNet App Catalog, it must pass stringent third-party tests for security, relevancy, data privacy, and more.

"SES is excited to achieve FirstNet Verified status and to provide a highly secure, reliable, and robust solution for first responders to access cell sites," said Philip Ufkes, President of Security Enhancement Systems. "With the SES Remote Access Control App, field personnel can access cell sites more quickly than using physical keys which often require complex logistics resulting in significant delays and nonproductive time in remote areas. In addition to increased operational efficiencies, remotely managing access improves safety issues, theft, vandalism, and network uptime for geographically dispersed cell sites."

Achieving a FirstNet Verified™ designation means SES is a vetted and trusted solution for public safety, meeting FirstNet app requirements. Additionally, FirstNet subscribers will also be able to take advantage of the SES Remote Access Control App solution while benefitting from FirstNet's highly secure network core, which is the only physically separate network core dedicated entirely to public safety in America.

"We only add applications to the FirstNet App Catalog that are high quality and relevant to public safety. And we're pleased that the SES Remote Access Control App is now Verified and available to FirstNet subscribers," said Scott Agnew, assistant vice president, product marketing, FirstNet Program at AT&T. "The SES Remote Access Control App will bring public safety additional capabilities to quickly access and perform their services and improve network resiliency regardless of the situation."
