FBI selects FirstNet for five-year contract worth $92 million, AT&T says
December 8, 2020

Stacy Schwartz, vice president of AT&T’s FirstNet program, said that the FBI has been utilizing FirstNet—the nationwide public-safety broadband network (NPSBN) being built by AT&T—previously, but the new contract expands the relationship to all FBI personnel.

All personnel within the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) will be transitioned to FirstNet, built by AT&T, service in 2021.

Valued at about $92 million, the FBI contract is “the largest commitment to FirstNet by a law-enforcement or public-safety agency,” according to an AT&T press release.

AT&T, Ericsson, Nokia picked for DoD 5G testbeds
Oct 9, 2020

The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded $600 million in contracts for five 5G testbeds, with AT&T, Ericsson and Nokia among more than a dozen vendors.

The testbeds are located on a handful of military bases each with a different focus of interest for 5G.

Those include AR/VR training for mission planning and operations; 5G-enabled smart warehouse looking to increase efficiency and strength of transshipment; smart warehousing; distributed command and control using 5G to assist in air, space, and cyberspace lethality; and a project in Utah to enable Air Force radar systems to dynamically share spectrum with commercial 5G users.

AT&T to deliver over 3K FirstNet lines to the U.S. Army
Oct 12, 2020

AT&T has been tapped by the U.S. Army to deliver FirstNet services for public safety personnel at 72 Army locations following a pilot program and testing earlier this year.

AT&T said it will deliver almost 3,200 lines of FirstNet services, including for firefighters, law enforcement and security personnel at Army installations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. 

FirstNet is a dedicated public safety network that AT&T has been building out, alongside its 4G LTE and 5G network upgrades. 

“FirstNet is helping us improve vital communications on our installations, depots and arsenals, including during catastrophic disasters or emergencies when communications capabilities are strained." said Colonel Kevin Comfort

AT&T to deliver over 3K FirstNet lines to the U.S. Army
Media is too big

Per Scanner its sounding like getting ATT back up is absolute priority as many 911 centers and much of the SE US FirstNet system is down.

FirstNet is a nationwide wireless broadband network for first responders being built and deployed through a first of its kind public-private partnership between the federal government and AT&T. FirstNet offers public safety a communications network built and customized to meet their needs. The First Responder Network Authority is the federal entity charged with overseeing the creation and delivery of the FirstNet network. Housed within the Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the agency’s role is to ensure AT&T delivers on the terms of its contract and creates a network that meets the needs of public safety now and into the future.
Public networks can be effectively smacked down with ddos type attacks; overloaded. When those systems are down... what is left for LEO and first responders (post 9/11) - is FirstNet. This Christmas bomb in front of the AT&T building... has just proven the Achilles heel in FirstNet
Updates from AT&T regarding the outage caused by the explosion
December 26th

'At our facility, the focus of the restoration continues to be getting power to the equipment in a safe and secure way.  Challenges remain, including a fire which reignited overnight and led to the evacuation of the building.  Currently, our teams are on site working with safety and structural engineers. They have drilled access holes into the building and are attempting to reconnect power to critical equipment. Technical teams are also working as quickly as possible on rerouting additional services to other facilities in the region to restore service.

We continue to make progress in our restoration following this devastating explosion. We are completing our work as quickly and as safely as possible. We are beginning to restore power to the facilities in the building after connecting generators through the walls. We are hopeful this equipment may be back online in the hours ahead. 

We are pleased to report that we have restored much of the mobility services that were affected in the Lexington, Kentucky area.  We will continue to bring more areas back online as quickly as possible.

“To eliminate any refusing, we need to just get rid of all the white people because immigrants are the only ones who want to be vaccinated” 💉

Dr. Carol Baker MD
Baylor College of Medicine
Texas Children Hospital

Apparently there are "strategies against the minorities"...but we just need to "get rid of the white people" to make sure everyone accepts mandatory vaccinations

Perhaps this is the real underlying motive behind amping up racial tensions through societal chaos and breakdown....

That, and getting rid of Trump of course

I dropped the ball on looking her up but it came up in another chat.

In 2009, Obama administration HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appointed Baker to chair the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices

She chaired the CDC committee until 2012 and she served as a liaison representative of that committee as recently as 2019.

She was then honored with the Sabin Vaccine Institute’s 2019 Gold Medal at a ceremony made possible in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Pfizer.

Its insane that someone like that was appointed to the level she was
For all Patriots planning on attending the Stop the steal rally on Jan 6th: know what to expect. DC Mayor Bowser will try and block major bridges, possibly limit Metro, if you fly or drive go earlier than the day before they want to limit the 1st Amendment. They want to limit the presence so that they can deny Trump has the People's support. We can't let them succeed. This government is run FOR the People, BY the People....Congress needs a reintroduction to that fact.

Park in safe locations preferably garages with paid parking and cameras. Go with a groups. The MARC Train hasn't been running consistently to DC from WV. Know the challenges and have a plan

God bless 🙏🇺🇲💙
