COLUMBIA, S.C., Sept. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verizon Business today announced a new contract with the South Carolina Army National Guard (SCARNG), becoming the primary wireless communications provider of the state-based military component.

The deal encompasses connectivity for more than 1,000 devices ranging from 5G Ultra Wideband (UW) and 4G LTE smartphones to data devices like jet packs.
