The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is expanding its usage of FirstNet, awarding AT&T a mobility contract for additional FirstNet functionalities to support the FBI’s day-to-day and emergency operations. The agreement, valued at approximately USD 92 million, is the largest commitment to FirstNet by a law enforcement or public safety agency, according to AT&T.
Several other Department of Justice agencies have been using FirstNet, including the Antitrust Division; Drug Enforcement Administration; Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys; Justice Management Division; U.S. Attorneys; U.S. Marshals Service; and The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which was the first federal agency to fully adopt FirstNet in 2018 with approximately 4,800 users.
