How public safety is using IoT
Public safety agencies are working to better respond to an increasingly technology-reliant public, while at the same time making more effective use of such technology themselves. Many of the devices and services they are turning to require LTE broadband availability – which means relying on commercial mobile networks.
AT&T CFO John Stephens recently said at an investor conference that while the first responder market in the U.S. is estimated to be around 3 million people, the number of connected devices involved means that AT&T – which is part of a public-private partnership to build out the nationwide FIrstNet LTE network – thinks of the overall market opportunity as closer to 10 million.
