We welcomed @FirstNet , Built with AT&T, First Responder Network Authority, and federal, state and local public safety personnel to our facilities for live use of our space-based cellular broadband connectivity, as we get ready for our 2026 commercial launch. Our work with FirstNet helps ensure reliable cellular connectivity from space, so first responders stay connected when terrestrial networks are simply unreachable—whether rescuing someone atop a mountain, deep in the wilderness, or lost at sea. When every second counts, first responders will have the connectivity they need. #ASTSpaceMobile #ATT #FirstNet #ConnectingtheUnconnected
