Public Safety

The First Net network was created to give first responders 21st-century communication tools to help save lives, solve crimes and keep communities and emergency responders safe. Currently, there are around 10,000 different and incompatible mobile radio networks that first responders in the U.S. use in their jobs, which makes effective communication during emergencies nearly impossible. To combat this fragmentation, FirstNet will build a new interoperable network designed to be reliable, functional, safe and secure, and provide optimal levels of operational capability at all times.

Operating in LTE Band 14 (758-798MHz), FirstNet is poised to transform the future of public safety communications for first responders — including firefighters, law enforcement and emergency medical services personnel in all 50 states, 5 U.S. territories, and Washington D.C., The move towards utilizing commercial standards will bring the benefits of lower costs, consumer-driven economies of scale and rapid evolution of advanced communication capabilities.
