FirstNet announced that currently more than 2,500 public safety agencies across the country have joined the FirstNet network. This is nearly double the number of agencies since the last update in July

"We've recently seen a spike in the number of public safety agencies subscribing to FirstNet," said Chris Sambar, senior vice president, AT&T-FirstNet. "FirstNet is designed for every first responder in the country – for both their agency provided and their personal device. It offers enhanced security on a dedicated network that prioritizes first responder communications. And it doesn't throttle. So, we're calling all first responders to join their network and benefit from the technology, terms and conditions that are purpose-built to favor the important work they do."
