FirstNet 5G Integration

The 5G communication you can depend on – today, tomorrow, and beyond

Today

The 5G communication you can depend on – today, tomorrow, and beyond – FirstNet has reported a sixth consecutive quarter offering subscribers the fastest overall network experience.

AT&T was the first to introduce a standards-based mobile 5G service in 2018. As the builder of FirstNet, AT&T will bring this same spirit of innovation to FirstNet customers. They are laying the foundation by upgrading network infrastructure to support 5G services for FirstNet users.

They continue to provide first responders with innovative solutions, expand access to Band 14 as we complete our buildout, and offer a physically separate, dedicated network core.

Faster than any commercial network

The FirstNet Authority has an important responsibility to advance the network for public safety and provide them with a world class communications experience. With this in mind, we directed investments to ensure public safety has access to 5G on the network based on our Roadmap. The initial phase of 5G for FirstNet is here, and we look forward to the ingenuity that the public safety community will surely apply to 5G-enabled technologies to help them protect and serve.

Robert T. OsterthalerBoard Chair, First Responder Network Authority

In just four years, the FirstNet Authority and AT&T have transformed the FirstNet network into a next-generation broadband network for first responders. By expanding the network to include 5G, public safety will continue to benefit from the latest tools and technologies designed to keep them and their communities safe.
