The FirstNet network operated by AT&T has been accepting subscribers for more than a year now, with service offered across all of AT&T’s commercial spectrum bands, a private network core for public safety users and Band 14 coverage built out in about 650 markets across the country as of the carrier’s most recent update. First responders and other agencies and organizations which support emergency operations and disaster response — police and fire departments, emergency medical services organizations, school districts, hospitals and so on — can sign up for individual or department-sponsored plans, and there are more than 130 devices, ranging from modules to smartphones to tablets and laptops, which are approved for FirstNet use.
