AT&T Boosts Local Networks in West Virginia
AT&T Invests More Than $150 Million Over 3-Year Period to Boost Local Networks in West Virginia
These investments boost reliability, coverage, speed and overall performance for residents and businesses. We've also improved critical services that support Public Safety and first responders using the FirstNet communications platform. In 2018, AT&T made 471 wireless network upgrades in West Virginia.
FirstNet is Public Safety's dedicated, nationwide communications platform. It is for all first responders – career and volunteer, urban or rural. It’s bringing public safety communications into the 21st century with new, innovative capabilities, helping first responders connect to the critical information they need – every day and in every emergency.
FirstNet is built with AT&T in a public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority– an independent agency within the federal government. This helps ensure that the FirstNet communications platform and service offerings meet the short- and long-term needs of the public safety community.
