Wireless Communications for Public Safety

Digi FirstNet Devices

When disaster strikes, citizens reach for their phones. And when a disaster is large scale, the massive increase in cell phone use can jam the cellular networks needed for communication with police, fire departments and other first responders. FirstNet® offers a solution.

FirstNet is a nationwide wireless network that is designed to deliver priority, pre-emptive communications for first responders and those responsible for critical infrastructure, transportation and public safety any time a large-scale public emergency, such as a hurricane, wildfire or other event affects an entire city or region. FirstNet ensures critical voice, text and data communications go through when a spike in civilian cell phone use could jam cellular networks, preventing dispatchers and first responders from communicating quickly and effectively.

This critical network supports not only first responders, but all important enterprises and services that are needed in an emergency, from wastewater management to security services, public transportation and railways. Called "Extended Primary" services, organizations in this category can also purchase FirstNet Trusted™ devices like Digi TX54, Digi TX64 5G, Digi TX64 5G Rail, Digi IX20, Digi EX12 and Digi EX15 and make use of the FirstNet network for critical communications.
