Meeting the Specialized Needs of Corrections Operations

Since 80% of wireless calls take place indoors, the need for in-building dedicated public safety connectivity is essential to operations and overall safety. The evolution of public safety communications is a critical topic and driving force in how our first responders will be equipped to protect the public now and in the years ahead. The requirements of facilities that provide jail services are diverse and, in some ways, more challenging than typical communications systems. The unique blend of near and far mobility for transport, the capability of spanning multiple systems (city, county, state), as well as providing reliable communications inside facilities that were specifically designed to limit access—to both people and unintentionally radio signals—creates a challenge that require multiple solutions to meet. In this session, you’ll learn how FirstNet, Built with AT&T, is collaborating with a variety of solution providers to provide the connectivity and scalability options that can help meet these challenges. From providing cost-effective, localized coverage in your facility, to the capabilities of extending your system across wide areas, FirstNet and its partners have solutions that can augment and expand your systems to support your operations wherever they are.
