In 2012, Congress created the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) and authorized it to build, operate, and maintain FirstNet, a single, nationwide broadband network in response to the communication failures that occurred during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Today, the FirstNet network is working as Congress intended and public safety needs.
Public safety agencies on FirstNet – America’s public safety communications platform – now have access to an end-to-end fleet management solution. Fleet Complete for FirstNet now offers a fully-integrated solution that gives agencies comprehensive, near real-time insights into critical fleet and in-field first responder activities.
AT&T has entered into an agreement to resell Mutualink to enhance interoperable communications for public safety. This new relationship will allow AT&T to bring Mutualink’s Interoperable Response and Preparedness Platform (IRAPP) to first responders and supporting agencies using services provided over FirstNet – America’s public safety communications platform.
The FirstNet communications platform – built with AT&T and the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) – has well-surpassed the half-a-million mark, with over 600,000 device connections being used by more than 7,250 public safety agencies.
AT&T has been selected by the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) to build and manage the first broadband network dedicated to America’s police, firefighters, and emergency medical services (EMS). With FirstNet, AT&T will be able to offer first responders the technology they need to better communicate and collaborate across agencies and jurisdictions.
With all 50 U.S. states, five territories, and the District of Columbia opted into FirstNet, AT&T is given a unique opportunity to bridge public safety capabilities with the Internet of Things (IoT).
FirstNet brings public safety a dedicated communications platform to help them save lives and protect communities. And now AT&T has unveiled the new visual identity for FirstNet products and services.
FirstNet is making first responder communications simpler, safer, faster, and more effective.
