AT&T announced that by the end of March, first responders in the USA can use the Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ smartphone to tap into the full power of FirstNet, including access to critical capabilities such as First Priority, which includes both priority and preemption. In this way, end users will be able to experience a reliable, highly secure and always-on connection. This is also the first Samsung device with built-in Band 14 access, a special spectrum licensed to the First Responder Network Authority.

According to AT&T; "This is an exciting update for public safety. We believe innovation in the larger mobile ecosystem can help propel public-safety-focused innovation. So, we’ll continue to expand our device ecosystem with FirstNet-ready offerings in addition to specialized and customized public safety tools."
