The FirstNet network will be a nationwide, interoperable network dedicated to first responders when they need it.
Working with AT&T, Motorola Solutions will help deliver the broadband devices and solutions that public safety needs.
These will help allow first responders to quickly access the vital information and actionable intelligence that enable faster decisions, enhance situational awareness and achieve better outcomes.
“Public safety is looking for advanced, interoperable communications and collaboration capabilities,” said Chris Sambar, senior vice president-FirstNet, AT&T Global Public Sector.
“Working with Motorola Solutions and other key team members, we will help deliver broadband-enabled devices and apps that will be certified for use by public safety seeking FirstNet services.”
Motorola Solutions’ LEX F10 device, designed specifically for public safety, has been certified for the AT&T LTE network.
The company will also deliver a suite of mobile apps, such as mapping and messaging, built specifically for the unique needs of public safety.
The suite will work virtually seamlessly between the FirstNet network and land mobile radio networks (LMR) as well as other software and services that support and enable the new FirstNet communications capabilities.
Brda continued, “LMR and LTE networks will continue to coexist, and helping first responders bridge those technologies with interoperable solutions will be an important growth driver for our company.”
A trusted partner for public safety customers for 90 years, Motorola Solutions is proud to count FirstNet among the four nationwide public safety LTE solutions that the company is playing a key role in implementing.
Motorola Solutions creates innovative, mission-critical communication solutions and services that help public safety and commercial customers build safer cities and thriving communities.
