FirstNet is Connecting More First Responders Across New Jersey

AT&T have moved quickly to bring more coverage, boost capacity and drive new capabilities for New Jersey’s first responders and the communities they serve.

During a Mission Critical Seminar at Middlesex County Fire Academy last week, AT&T showcased the many benefits of FirstNet for first responders. The event featured remarks from the New Jersey State Police leadership and FirstNet users from Ocean and Essex Counties. FirstNet deployable assets were on display, along with smartphones, tablets and other devices that keep first responders connected during emergencies. And, as part of a focus on health and wellness of first responders, attendees learned more about the FirstNet Health & Wellness Coalition, including the ‘ROG the Dog’ assisted therapy animals available to FirstNet subscribers.

Now, first responders in more than 240 communities across New Jersey are using FirstNet, Built with AT&T to stay mission ready. Since launching FirstNet, the network coverages New Jersey through the entire state. And with Band 14 deployed on more than 1,000 sites statewide, first responders in every county are benefitting from the truly dedicated coverage and capacity it provides when they need it.
