Last week AT&T announced the exclusive communications platform for public safety came to life with the nationwide launch of the FirstNet Dedicated Network Core. This network will let first responders communicate wirelessly during a disaster. Something they were unable to do during 9/11. FirstNet will be the nationwide network that let’s first responders communicate and save lives and property.
First responders do a very specialized job. They need a very specialized network to communicate with each other on an individual level and on a group level. And they need to be able to communicate when other first responders using the same network at the same time. This was the problem during 9/11. And this is the challenge that FirstNet is addressing.
