The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is modernizing communications technology for its first responders.

First responders across the nation now have a wireless broadband network to call their own. With all 50 states, two U.S. territories and Washington, D.C. joining FirstNet, public safety has a groundbreaking new choice for their communications that will help them save lives and protect their communities.
