 |
| In the nearly 5 years since the First Responder Network Authority selected AT&T to build and operate FirstNet®, we have moved quickly to bring more coverage, boost capacity and drive new capabilities for first responders and the communities they serve – rural, urban and tribal. Now, the public safety community on FirstNet has access to the nation's largest coverage footprint, reaching more than 2.81 million square miles across the country. |

| Using FirstNet to battle big city problems in rural Kansas |
 |
| Communication is critically important to rural Ford County, Kansas. "It's critical infrastructure. When it comes to radios or phone usage, it's a must for us to have equipment that's in working order – for the safety of our deputies and for the citizens we serve… We're not shielded from any crime out here in Western Kansas… That's why we're on FirstNet," writes Sheriff Bill Carr. |
