FirstNet public-safety subscribers in the “primary” user category—law enforcement, fire, EMS, 911 and emergency-management personnel—now have preemptive access across AT&T’s network, FirstNet and AT&T announced today.
Implementing ruthless preemption throughout the AT&T network marks the on-time fulfillment of a major technological feature. After the carrier was awarded the FirstNet nationwide contract in March, AT&T officials vowed that preemptive access would available to “primary” public-safety FirstNet subscribers by the end of the year.
