New Cell Tower to Host First Responder Network, AT&T Subscribers
By Jayna Smith
Many have noticed the new hard-to-miss tower in town, sitting right next to Calais Recreation Center.
The tower is part of the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet), a network proposed by the federal 9/11 Commission and endorsed by Congress in 2012. AT&T has been selected to build and manage this first high-speed broadband wireless network dedicated to police, firefighters, and emergency medical services.
