FirstNet, short for First Responder Network Authority, is a government agency established in the United States in response to the communication challenges faced by first responders during emergencies and disasters. Founded in 2012, FirstNet operates as an independent authority within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and is tasked with building, deploying, and maintaining a nationwide public safety broadband network.

The primary goal of FirstNet is to provide first responders with a dedicated, high-speed, and interoperable communication network that ensures reliable and secure communication during emergencies. Traditionally, first responders relied on disparate and often incompatible communication systems, which could hinder coordination and response efforts during critical incidents.

The FirstNet network addresses these challenges by providing a dedicated broadband network reserved exclusively for first responders, including law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical services (EMS), and other public safety personnel. The network offers priority and preemption capabilities, ensuring that first responders have access to bandwidth and communication resources when they need them most, even in times of network congestion.

In addition to its core network infrastructure, FirstNet offers a range of communication services and applications tailored to the needs of first responders. These include voice, data, and video services, as well as mission-critical features such as location tracking, push-to-talk, and incident management tools. By providing a unified and interoperable platform for communication and collaboration, FirstNet enhances situational awareness, coordination, and response capabilities for first responders across the country.
