In February 2012, Congress created the First Responder Network Authority, a federal government agency responsible for deploying, operating, and maintaining FirstNet, the nation's only public safety broadband network. During the past decade, this network went from a dream to a reality for first responders and is operational today supporting millions of users across the country. Join a discussion with various key contributors from the early days of lobbying Congress, to instrumental Board members, to the dedicated professionals in government and with the network partner, AT&T, who are tasked with ensuring the network supports public safety's needs every day. They will take you on the journey of this network and discuss how its mission is only just beginning to be fulfilled.
