Introduction
London is one of most bustling and congested cities on Earth - even more so during major events such as student riots or the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Whether planned or impromptu, these incidents can have a huge impact on the emergency services - and that’s in addition to day-to-day accidents and the threat of terrorist attack.
As a result, the London Ambulance Service (LAS) is the busiest emergency ambulance service in the UK. Because it covers an area of 620 square miles and operates 24/7 in one of the most challenging environments in the world, the LAS has to offer a service that is always available and operating efficiently.
This is even more important when it has many thousands of additional visitors from across the globe, and so LAS has been working closely with the London 2012 Organising Committee and Transport for London (TfL) to ensure it is ready for whatever the event in 2012 may bring. In preparation, LAS has chosen BT iNet as its partner, to ensure that its communications services infrastructure equips staff to deal with every eventuality.
Part of the BT Group, BT iNet offers a range of communications services and solutions for organisations of all sizes. It has been able to use the full array of its portfolio to offer LAS benefits from cost efficiency to productivity and from greater collaboration to simpler management.
