FirstNet expands across South Carolina

South Carolina’s first responders are getting a major boost in their wireless communications with the addition of new, purpose-built FirstNet cell site and other network enhancements in Berkeley, Colleton, Hampton, Kershaw and Spartanburg Counties. This new infrastructure is a part of the FirstNet network expansion taking place across the state, bringing increased coverage, capacity and capabilities for public safety.

“Whether in small towns or large cities, communication is essential when an emergency happens,” said Col. Chris Williamson, Commander of the South Carolina Highway Patrol. “FirstNet and new cell sites like this are all about keeping first responders connected so they can better serve their communities.”
