During the 2018 Volvo Ocean Race, the Rhode Island DMAT's Medical Reserve Corps (RI MRC) used FirstNet's secure connection for field hospital operations. Sending data from the event's field aid stations to the field hospital gave medical personnel more information up front on incoming patients, says RI MRC Executive Officer Brook Lawrence.

During this year’s annual Summerfest that attracted over 30,000 visitors, FirstNet was put to the test by the Orem Fire and Police Departments who patrolled the event’s parade and festivities on foot, bicycle and by car.
