FirstNet Offers 72 Deployables Dedicated Exclusively to Public Safety Use
FirstNet will facilitate the staging and management of the dedicated deployable units through a “lending library” approach.
On-demand deployable assets are a key benefit of FirstNet. They allow FirstNet customers to expand, enhance, or rebuild coverage during an operational response. At this point in time, FirstNet is the only wireless broadband network with a deployables fleet dedicated exclusively to public safety use.
FirstNet offers these 72 dedicated deployables for action their customers need them to support the unique needs of their first responders, at no additional cost.
So how does this work? During emergency situations or planned events requiring replacement coverage and capacity, FirstNet and AT&T will evaluate the request and provide the deployable services.
In addition, mobile satellite services and other deployable systems can enhance coverage throughout the 56 states and territories. FirstNet will facilitate the staging and management of the dedicated deployable units through a “lending library” approach. And public safety agencies may consider procuring and employing their own deployables as their mission dictates.
