When the FirstNet board was named in August, its members faced a series of questions involving funding, governance, architecture, partnerships and broadband projects already under way.

D’Agostino added that the architecture for the FirstNet network will be directed by a yet-to-be-named chief technology officer, although Gwinn will consult with that person.

The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) grew out of a 9/11 Commission recommendation calling for interoperable communications for all first responders.

FirstNet selected AT&T to build and manage the network in 2017, creating a public-private partnership with more than 5.5 million connections and 27,500 public safety organizations.

FirstNet, a new broadband network created for police, fire and paramedics will give first responders priority access to cell towers and enable different departments to talk to each other.

First off, the FirstNet service works best on the AT&T network. But if a first responder wants to access the FirstNet network, they utilize a SIM card or an eSim specifically for that network.
