AT&T-Run FirstNet More Generally Available to First Responders
Available to First Responders
Sincerely wish this was available on 9/11/2001.
Cell service was still in a more basic stage at that time and all the frequencies and circuits were jammed.
A separate LTE band 14 (FirstNet) through AT&T will be a truly great help!!!!!!!!!
I recall Nextel loaned something like 5,000 of their PTT phones to officials, first-responders, many even went to Verizon and AT&T repair technicians so they could communicate with each other while repairing their damaged systems. After a few days they began to restore regular telephone & cellular service, but for that first, ultra-critical period, good old Nextel iDEN PTT carried the day.
The Smithsonian even put Rudy Giuliani's Nextel phone in their 9/11 museum display:
