Verizon Frontline Enhances Tracking of Santa's Magical Journey
As the magical bells of the North Pole ring in the holiday spirit, Verizon Frontline is excited to play a vital role in assisting children around the globe as they track Santa Claus on December 24. Marking its 22nd consecutive year of partnership with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), Verizon is committed to providing robust connectivity that ensures families can join in the festive excitement of this beloved annual tradition.
Connectivity Reinvented for Santa Tracking
This Christmas Eve, Verizon’s advanced network infrastructure will again support the NORAD Tracks Santa program by offering a toll-free hotline. Children and families will be able to call in and discover Santa’s whereabouts as he makes his journey across the globe. Leveraging Verizon’s C-Band spectrum technology, the program will enjoy top-tier 5G connectivity and additional Wi-Fi resources, ensuring reliable service during this peak time for inquiries.
Supporting NORAD's Efforts with Innovation
To enhance NORAD's operations, Verizon provides cutting-edge technology, including Cradlepoint routers and Wi-Fi jetpacks. Furthermore, specialized Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) solutions are integrated into the program to enhance operational efficiency. The Verizon Consulting Services team is also on board to manage an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system designed to handle an impressive volume of calls—over 130,000—on Christmas Eve alone.
Dedicated Volunteers Make a Difference
The success of the NORAD Tracks Santa initiative is made possible by the enthusiasm and commitment of nearly 1,100 volunteers. This includes about 900 in-person volunteers and 200 who contribute virtually. Together, they include Verizon team members, military personnel, and dedicated community partners who eagerly answer countless inquiries, from "Where is Santa now?" to "What cookies does Santa prefer?"
How to Stay Updated on Santa’s Journey
Families can easily connect with the hotline by calling 1-877-Hi-NORAD (1-877-446-6723) starting at 6 a.m. EST on December 24. It’s a great idea to save this number on your Verizon device for quick and easy access.
