PRESS RELEASE
DALLAS — As first responders work tirelessly to respond to the devastating flooding in western Washington, here’s how FirstNet, Built with AT&T and the AT&T Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) team are helping.
FirstNet and AT&T assets on the ground:
- Dedicated FirstNet Compact Rapid Deployables (CRDs) – Dedicated FirstNet portable cell sites that provide up to 2 miles of on-the-go FirstNet coverage without relying on commercial power availability.
- AT&T LEO Cell Trailers (LCTs) and LEO Emergency Communication Portables (LECPs) – portable cell sites that deliver temporary cell service where traditional service is unavailable.
- AT&T Amphibious Vehicle – Can easily transition from land to water in flooded or debris-strewn areas. This vehicle can deliver people, equipment or fuel to areas unreachable by road.
We have a commitment unlike any other to deliver connectivity for first responders. With the dedicated, nationwide FirstNet fleet of 190+ portable network assets exclusively available for public safety’s use, we’re giving first responders a level of support that’s far beyond any other competitor.
