For the event, the First Responder Network Authority and its partner AT&T distributed 80 ruggedized FirstNet devices to fire, police and incident response teams from Boston and Brookline. Participants used the devices for both push-to-talk and land mobile radio integration applications.
The first responder community gave the system high marks.
“It’s an easy application to learn and utilize. [Police and fire] have been giving me a lot of good feedback and they are pretty excited about it,” said Officer Scott Wilder, director of technology for the Brookline, Mass., Police Department. |
