FirstNet Ready Antennas
Many of the FirstNet compatible antennas that Westward Sales offers are multi-antennas, meaning they can perform a multitude of tasks including 5G LTE, dual-band MIMO Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, all housed in a rugged, streamlined casing. These highly efficient and isolated antennas are perfect for public safety mobile fleets. Our FirstNet antennas offer unmatched connectivity, with the ability to move incredible amounts of data and support real-time video streaming, asset tracking, situational-awareness, and more.
What is FirstNet?
Established in 2012 in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, FirstNet is the first network of its kind in the United States. FirstNet is a single, interoperable network dedicated singularly for public safety use. It’s mission is to deploy, operate, and maintain high-speed, nationwide wireless broadband to support optimal communications amongst public safety personnel in mission critical situations. What makes FirstNet different from other broadband providers is its exclusivity. FirstNet is designated specifically for first responders and other personnel that support first responders' efforts. Those that can subscribe to FirstNet include, but are not limited to, law enforcement, fire protection services, emergency (911) call dispatching and government Public Safety Answering Points, emergency planning and management offices, and emergency medical services.
Wireless Communications for Public Safety
Those using the FirstNet network have access to all AT&T LTE commercial spectrum bands. In addition to AT&T’s already reliable network, first responders and public safety personnel have access to a dedicated 20 MHz frequency spectrum within LTE Band 14 (700 MHz). Band 14 is a nationwide, high-quality spectrum set aside by the U.S. government specifically for FirstNet subscribers. You could consider FirstNet Band 14 as public safety’s VIP lane to high performance, high speed connection. First responders need reliable, highly-secure connectivity at all times while on the job, whether it be while performing routine tasks in a highly congested area, like a sports arena or in a crisis situation. In addition, they need equally reliable equipment compatible with the FirstNet network. Westward Sales offers some of the best FirstNet-compatible antennas on the market.
