Today, AT&T significantly covers the Arkansas state with FirstNet, helping to connect public safety agencies and organizations in more than 160 communities. AT&T has rolled out Band 14 on hundreds of sites across Arkansas to provide public safety with truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it. Areas currently benefitting from Band 14 include Fayetteville-Springdale, Little Rock, Pine Bluff and others.1

Acting CEO, FirstNet Authority: “FirstNet is a dedicated broadband platform for public safety, by public safety. We worked hand-in-hand with the Arkansas public safety community to understand their needs for the network. And this new infrastructure is a prime example of how that input and feedback is becoming reality. We look forward to supporting Arkansas first responders’ use of FirstNet to help them save lives and protect our communities.”
