FirstNet/AT&T to brief Dimmit County on emergency communications, mobile cell-on-wheels
Summary
The court was invited to a FirstNet/AT&T presentation; a company representative said FirstNet will demonstrate services including a mobile cell-on-wheels and that some county employees using AT&T may be eligible to sign up for FirstNet if they meet emergency-related criteria.
An informational agenda item invited the court and elected officials to a presentation hosted by FirstNet/AT&T. Court staff asked Mr. Costanelli to provide details about the briefing and the services to be demonstrated.
Mr. Costanelli said FirstNet representatives will explain services available to the county, including a mobile "cell on wheels" — a deployable cell site that can operate off the FirstNet network during incidents. He said county employees who use AT&T may be able to sign up for FirstNet service provided they meet certain criteria, such as supporting emergency operations; eligibility is not limited strictly to first responders.
"FirstNet is coming down to explain their services and what they can provide for the county," Mr. Costanelli said. The informational item focused on the planned presentation and did not include any council action or procurement decisions.
