FirstNet®, Built with AT&T is the only network where America’s public safety community can take advantage of the highest available power class signaling (Power Class 1), also known as FirstNet MegaRange™.
Available in three exclusive versions to best fit public safety’s needs, these new solutions come fully packaged with the Nextivity SHIELD MegaFi router, which is now FirstNet Trusted™, power adapters (AC, DC or battery) and cellular antennas – and up to half the price of the previous MegaRange solutions:
- MegaFi Fixed can be permanently installed to strengthen in-building connectivity in places like 911 call centers, offices or underground locations such as subways and garages.
- MegaFi Mobile provides vehicles with stronger connectivity at the edge of the network. From cars, buses, and ambulances to railways, boats, and ships, with a rooftop antenna, users can have faster uplink speeds while on the go.
- MegaGo supports in-the-field or remote connectivity to improve emergency/disaster response and telemedicine or to simply stay connected in areas with challenging terrain. And with a 12-hour battery life, users can be confident they’ll have the strongest connection available when and where they need it.
In an emergency, it’s essential first responders and the extended public safety community that supports their missions have strong, reliable connectivity for their critical communications. And that’s regardless of location. From hard-to-reach places such as underground areas and maritime environments to extremely rural, uninhabited locations, FirstNet MegaRange provides better signal in more places–six times more powerful than standard devices (think FirstNet Ready® devices or smartphones used by the general public to talk, text or stream videos).
As the nation’s public safety network, FirstNet is purpose-built to support first responders’ mission needs. It provides first responders with high-quality Band 14 spectrum–the only band in the U.S. that can enable this high-power signaling–truly dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it and unique benefits like always-on priority and preemption. These advanced capabilities help first responders save lives and protect their communities.
FirstNet Trusted
When public safety sees the FirstNet Trusted badge, they can be confident the device meets strict cybersecurity and network connectivity requirements that go well beyond standard commercial network requirements. FirstNet Trusted devices include solutions like:
- Sensors that provide situational awareness of gunshots, hazardous material detection, vitals of a first responder, or fleet tracking.
- Routers and modems that keep police cruisers, fire trucks, and ambulances connected to local, state, and federal databases.
- Cameras worn by a first responder to provide near real-time streaming of an incident as it unfolds back to command or thermal imaging.
In short, the FirstNet Trusted badge–combined with our defense-in-depth FirstNet security strategy that goes well beyond standard commercial network security measures–provides protection without sacrificing usability or adversely impacting public safety’s missions.
