A fleet of 72 deployable cell sites are available to public safety agencies who subscribe to AT&T-FirstNet’s services, according to the carrier. Those network resources are housed at 40 locations around the country and can be delivered within a 14-hour window after an emergency request, AT&T said.
The deployables are available for either planned events or emergencies, AT&T-FirstNet said; AT&T said that already this year, its FirstNet team has supported “nearly 100 emergency and event response efforts via asset deployments and other solutions, [including]active shooter situations, tornadoes in the east, wildfires across the western states, and most recently, deployments for the Merrimack Valley gas explosions and Hurricane Florence.”
