In an era where communication technology has become the backbone of emergency response and public safety, the introduction of FirstNet, built with AT&T, marks a significant leap forward. FirstNet is not just another network; it’s the first high-speed, nationwide wireless broadband network dedicated to public safety and first responders. Understanding what FirstNet is and what it means for our clients is crucial in recognizing the value it brings to our communities and the safety infrastructure.
What is FirstNet?
FirstNet stands for the First Responder Network Authority, born out of a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission. Its mission is to build and operate a nationwide, broadband network that specifically prioritizes public safety and first responders. With AT&T as its partner, FirstNet provides an exclusive communication highway that ensures connectivity, speed, and reliability during critical times when traditional networks may become congested.
