Addressing the digital divide
AT&T, Camp Fire Heartland Provide 150 Laptops to Young People as part of its Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® Campaign
At AT&T, we’re investing in our fiber and 5G networks across Missouri – and across the country – to better connect Missourians to each other and the world.
We have a special responsibility to our first responders – the friends and neighbors who wear the coat of public service and work every day, around the clock to keep our communities safe.
As part of our ongoing investments and buildout in the state, we added more new cell sites to expand 5G coverage and capacity across Missouri, helping public safety on FirstNet®, residents and businesses get more from their mobile devices. The new sites boost coverage, capacity and speed in the following areas.
Joplin Area
Kansas City Area
Mid Missouri Area
St. Louis Area
Rolla Area
These sites support first responders and the extended public safety community on FirstNet, Built with AT&T – America’s public safety network – with Band 14 spectrum. We look at Band 14 as public safety’s VIP lane, delivering dedicated connectivity when needed. When not in use by FirstNet subscribers, AT&T customers can enjoy Band 14’s added coverage and capacity.
Created by the U.S. Congress after 9/11 and built by AT&T in public-private partnership with the FirstNet Authority, FirstNet is the only nationwide communications platform purpose-built for public safety.
We also are honored that the Missouri Department of Public Safety (DPS) is relying on FirstNet for connectivity statewide.
“Reliable mobile broadband connections are vital not just during emergencies, but for day-to-day efforts to keep our communities and our residents safe. FirstNet’s dedicated connectivity means first responder communications get through because they’re prioritized. The new sites in Band 14 mean dedicated coverage, capacity and speeds – which add up to stronger response capabilities during critical incidents,” said DPS Director Mark James.
