TAMUNING, Guam\u2014Docomo Pacific was recently selected by AT&T to help support the deployment of FirstNet\u2014America\u2019s public safety communications platform\u2014in both Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n
FirstNet delivers a single, nationwide network platform that\u2019s purpose-built to enhance communications across the entire public safety community. FirstNet is available to all first responders \u2013 career and volunteer, urban, rural or tribal. And it\u2019s bringing public safety communications into the 21st century with new, innovative capabilities, helping first responders connect to the critical information they need \u2013 every day and in every emergency. FirstNet is being built with AT&T in a public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) \u2013 an independent agency within the federal government.<\/p>\n
Our island communities are all too familiar with the destructive forces nature can bring to our region. The key to staying ready and responding is effective and reliable communication\u2014 which is exactly what FirstNet is designed to enable for our region\u2019s first responders.<\/p>\n
Based on the collaboration with AT&T, Docomo Pacific will provide access to its existing LTE network coverage and capacity while helping to build out additional LTE coverage with the FirstNet Band 14 spectrum.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to support the FirstNet mission. This will help transform the way Guam and CNMI\u2019s Public Safety and emergency officials share information quickly when they need to most. So, when lives are on the line, we can rest assured knowing our public safety officials are equipped and have the necessary tools to communicate with our island community,\u201d said Docomo Pacific president and CEO Roderick Boss.<\/p>\n
Boss adds as the biggest and widest telecommunications provider in the Marianas, it was a natural partnership for Docomo Pacific and FirstNet. When Super Typhoon Yutu struck the CNMI in October 2018, Docomo Pacific\u2019s mobile network remained intact both during and after the storm, keeping families connected through one of the biggest storms in history. This was made possible by Docomo Pacific\u2019s undersea cable system which survived Super Typhoon Yutu unscathed.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Docomo Pacific is an authorized member of AT&T\u2019s FirstNet Dealer Program, which means it can sell FirstNet services to eligible current and future public safety customers. This will help get FirstNet\u2019s game-changing technology into the hands of first responders throughout the region.<\/p>\n
