What is FirstNet?

FirstNet (First Responder Network Authority) is a nationwide, high-priority wireless network in the U.S. built specifically for first responders, emergency services, and public safety agencies. Operated by AT&T in partnership with the U.S. government, FirstNet provides dedicated spectrum (Band 14 – 700 MHz), ensuring strong, reliable coverage, even in emergencies or network congestion. It offers priority and preemption for first responders, meaning their communications are never interrupted, making it a critical tool for police, fire, EMS, and disaster response teams.
