By the end of March, first responder subscribers can use the Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ to tap into the full power of FirstNet, including access to critical capabilities such as First Priority. This includes access to critical capabilities, like First Priority™, which includes both priority and preemption, so you can experience a reliable, highly secure and always-on connection to the information you need.
This is also the first Samsung device with built-in Band 14 access. Band 14 is special spectrum licensed to the First Responder Network Authority. AT&T will use Band 14 to build out FirstNet, installing it on tens of thousands of new and existing towers nationwide. This will give you even more coverage and capacity across the country to help you respond to emergencies when and where they happen.
Keeping Officers On The Cutting Edge
This is an exciting update for public safety. Innovation in the larger mobile ecosystem can help propel public-safety-focused innovation. The device ecosystem will continue to expand with FirstNet-ready offerings in addition to specialized and customized public safety tools.
This will give you the power to choose how you connect to the critical information you need.
Come late March, current and potential FirstNet users interested in purchasing the Galaxy S9/S9+ can either contact your account lead, or you can go to your nearest AT&T retail store and ask for FirstNet.
