The First Responders Network Authority board has approved the agency’s budget for fiscal year 2023, with the majority going toward network reinvestments with partner AT&T.
The budget allocations fell into three categories: $190 million for network reinvestment, $84 million for the FirstNet Authority’s operating budget and $84 million in reserves.
“This budget ensures the FirstNet Authority remains a good steward of funds for public safety and supports our priorities in the areas of contract oversight, organizational health, stakeholder engagement, and future planning and investments,” said Acting FirstNet Authority CEO Lisa Casias. “It positions the FirstNet Authority to continue to invest in the network and in our organization, as we work with public safety to deliver the best possible network experience for them.”
