More than 2,500 public safety agencies using more than 150,000 connections have signed on to obtain wireless broadband services from the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) network, AT&T, Inc., announced today. That it is up from the “nearly 1,500 public safety agencies” and “more than 110,000 connections” announced last month (TR Daily, July 20). AT&T is FirstNet’s partner in building out a nationwide broadband network for interoperable public safety communications, using spectrum allocated by Congress for that purpose.
