Our hearts are with everyone affected by the devastating wildfires in Florida and Georgia. We’re continuing to monitor the situation closely, and our wireless network remains up and running across impacted areas.
We have network teams on standby and ready to respond to any impacts, if needed. Additionally, we’ve optimized settings at cell sites in the impact areas to help minimize potential service disruptions during high demand periods.
To further support emergency communications for first responders on the front lines, the FirstNet Response Operations Group™ (ROG) has deployed a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Cell Trailer (LCT) in Brantley County, GA. This team, led by former first responders, is working around the clock to support public safety’s emergency communications and has liaisons engaged with local, state and federal agencies.
We continue to closely monitor the performance of our network and are embedded directly within the local Emergency Operations Center, collaborating alongside officials to help ensure rapid response.
