ORDERING FIRSTNET DEPLOYABLES

[rsmith7799]

Hello to all, I wanted to let you know the proper procedure for ordering any FIRSTNET DEVICES on CALIFORNIA incidents. You must first request through your Ordering Manager and IROC.
In CA, you must go through the warning.center@oes.ca.gov. You can order Firstnet phones and a C.O.W. (Cell On Wheels). This information is directly from the CA FIRSTNET MANAGER

Why are you posting California FIRSTNET information here ? And not in the California Forums like you should. Adamans should move this to California forum

Because it ends up being apart of all the States. INDUSTRY DISCUSSION? FIRSTNET is a US Government system....just picked an area that I thought would be best for all.

FirstNet is a government entity. AT&T is merely the shared platform; the FirstNet core is separate from the AT&T core as are newer tower sites being added to fill in coverage for public safety users (who also have priority over ordinary users). If the poop hits the fan ordinary users would rapidly find their cellphones becoming either useless, or fit for nothing more than voice calls if they can get through.

And 1st net does not work in my area.
Was told NOT A PRIORITY OF ATT
That tells me who owns it.
1 tower every 15 miles 1/2 of the county not covered

I've noticed that most of the drones working at AT&T really don't have a clue. Ask them about FirstNet and they generally have to check with someone else, especially when it comes to network upgrades; they just assume that if it has to do with AT&T therefore it means FirstNet also.

I do know that coverage updates are prioritized for public safety as well as prioritized based on population; plus, if you're not a public safety professional or another eligible entity, you wouldn't have access to FirstNet-specific coverage anyway. If you are a public safety professional then you need to take it higher up the food chain, to the FirstNet board if necessary.

Like I said before, they're shared systems; FirstNet is piggybacked on the AT&T network, but with a separate system core, and coverage upgrades for the general public and FirstNet specific customers are handled differently.
