In an effort to improve coverage for businesses, residents and first responders, AT&T New Jersey announced it has added new cell sites in 10 counties up and down the state.
Joseph Divis, the interim president for AT&T New Jersey, said the move will benefit public safety and first responders on FirstNet — public safety’s dedicated communications platform, which gives New Jersey’s first responders access to always-on, 24-hours-a-day priority and preemption across voice and data.
“We continue to invest in our network in New Jersey so that our customers have a great experience,” Divis said. “These new sites are an important way we can provide better coverage for first responders, businesses and residents in these communities.”
