AT&T is doubling down on its support for first responders with a big boost to FirstNet.
Even though 4G and 5G coverage is pretty much everywhere these days and carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T offer blazing-fast speeds, there is still a big need for something more reliable – especially during emergencies. That is where the dedicated connectivity lane for public safety steps in and now, AT&T is expanding its reach even further.
AT&T is doubling down on its support for first responders with a big boost to FirstNet. The carrier just launched 1,000 new cell sites using Band 14 – a special slice of spectrum set aside just for public safety. This helps expand FirstNet, the only network in the country built specifically for emergency crews.
These new towers are part of a long-term, 10-year plan that AT&T is working on with the FirstNet Authority.
