New FirstNet Cell Site Launches in Iron County, Wisconsin to Support First Responders

Iron County’s first responders are getting a major boost in their wireless communications thanks to the FirstNet network expansion currently underway by AT&T. FirstNet added a new, purpose-built cell site located in Iron County that serves the western part of the town of Oma near Pine Lake. This site will provide coverage along Highway 51 when traveling north and south of Pine Lake. It will also give first responders on FirstNet – America’s public safety network – access to always-on, 24-hours-a-day priority and preemption across voice and data.
