Leaders here believe a new system could revamp public safety.
Friday, representatives from AT&T demonstrated aspects of FirstNet for first responders and city officials.
The system delivers a dedicated, reliable broadband network, reserved specifically for emergency response crews.
"In any major event, more than likely we are dealing across a multi-jurisdictional type of response. That is law enforcement, fire, EMS, we could even be involving hospitals at the time. And communication is critical," said Huber Heights Fire Chief Mark Ashworth.
The flood of communication during a crisis can bog down wireless networks. The issue was brought to the forefront after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when first responders faced challenges connecting and relaying information.
