FirstNet

Supports the FCC reviewing the scope of FirstNet’s interoperability requirements.

FirstNet is officially a nation-wide service, as all 50 states, two U.S. territories and Washington D.C. joined the public safety wireless broadband network before the window closed on Dec. 28.

AT&T has signed on the dotted line for the multi-billion-dollar, 25-year contract to build and maintain FirstNet, the interoperable first responder public safety network.

Virginia is first in line to sign on to the national framework for the FirstNet interoperable emergency communications network.

Alabama is the latest state to sign up for the emergency broadband network FirstNet from AT&T, bringing more than half the states under the network.
