The First Responder Network Authority also known as FirstNet is the federal entity charged with overseeing the creation and delivery of the FirstNet network.
Housed within the Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the agency’s role is to ensure AT&T delivers on the terms of its contract and creates a network that meets the needs of public safety now and into the future.
FirstNet's Band 14 is available in Dolan Springs and it looks like they're working on getting better coverage on US93. I hope FirstNet will soon have service in Meadview.
WHY FIRSTNET?
1. It’s our nation’s public safety wireless broadband network
2. Federally regulated by the First Responder Network Authority
3. There’s no throttling for FirstNet subscribers anywhere in the country
4. FirstNet has the only physically separate network core in the country dedicated entirely to Public Safety, First Responders, and entities who support them
5. 24x7x365 priority and preemption for first responders
6. Faster than any commercial network
7. Highly-secure core and available end-to-end encryption
8. Dedicated deployables for service continuity and disaster recovery, to quickly address coverage extension demands triggered by natural or man-made disasters, and for special events planned in advance.
FIRSTNET ELIGIBLE USERS
Primary Users are Public Safety Entities that act as first responders, the agencies who are at an emergency scene first. This includes law enforcement, fire protection services, emergency (911) call dispatching and government Public Safety Answering Points, emergency planning and management offices, and ambulance safety services.
Extended Primary Users are those agencies, organizations, non-profit or for-profit companies that provide public safety services in support of Primary Users. They provide mitigation, remediation, overhaul, clean-up, restoration, or other such services during or after an incident.
