FirstNet Built with AT&T

Being First Matters – Helping You Keep America Safe

FirstNet, Built with AT&T, is the only network built with and for first responders – when and where they need it most. We are accountable to keeping your lines of communication open with dedicated mission critical solutions that will modernize public safety.

FirstNet is designed to fit your unique and evolving communications needs and the needs of those working to support your vital efforts. It grew out of a 9/11 Commission recommendation calling for improved communications for U.S. first responders. On 9/11, many emergency response teams had trouble communicating with each other. So, Congress established the First Responder Network Authority through the Middle-Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. It charged the Authority with creating a nationwide broadband network dedicated to America’s public safety community. And the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T contracted to deliver this reliable and innovative solution to you.

Together, we will unlock innovation and an ecosystem to support next generation tools to help you save lives and protect communities. Because every time you put on the uniform and answer the call, you show us that what you do is more than just a job. It’s a calling. And reliable communication is essential to your safety.
