While the FirstNet partnership with AT&T has yielded good progress to date, the FirstNet Authority does not want “to put all of our eggs in one basket” and is seeking other industry partners, particularly those interested in developing technologies that can be leveraged for both public-safety and smart-cities initiatives, according to FirstNet Authority Acting CEO Ed Parkinson.
“Ultimately, what I’m asking for is to join us,” Parkinson said during a keynote delivered last Friday at the CES event in Las Vegas. “We’re looking for partnerships. We have our partnership with AT&T, but we’re looking to create as many more as we possibly can. This is something that is at the core of what FirstNet is.
“As we go out today, and going forward, we’re going to be looking to make more partners in industry, more partners with public safety, from a variety of different groups across the nation. As we go forward, we have our team within the organization—our industry-liaison team—and we’re looking for new ideas. There’s a lot that we don’t know, and there’s a lot that we don’t know we can take advantage of and work for public safety. I want to be able to take advantage of that to make sure that public safety’s lot is better.”
