Mayor Richard Brunst

We’re proud to be early adopters of the FirstNet platform and to be among the first in the nation to have each of our fire, law enforcement, EMS and utilities all connected. The technology will transform how each organization communicates with each other for any day and any crisis. It’s important that we give our first responders the very best technology to help ensure quicker response times as we serve Orem’s residents.

FirstNet extended coverage brings critical connectivity to Tribal lands

The FirstNet Authority is continuing to bring the FirstNet's Band 14 service to rural, remote, and Tribal lands. As part of that effort, the FirstNet Authority is actively engaging with Tribal leaders to determine where they need FirstNet coverage most. Learn more about these efforts and how FirstNet will help solve common communication issues in rural areas , including interoperability, network congestion, and slow data speeds -- visit FirstNet.gov/Tribal.

Utah

As one of the fastest growing populations in the nation, Utah boasts an attractive landscape of recreational activities from world-renowned ski resorts to popular national parks. With two-thirds of the population concentrated in the north-central part of the state, there are many rural areas, and the state is home to several federally recognized tribal lands. Access to coverage in these areas is especially important for first responders in Utah.
