When a major storm hits or a citywide emergency unfolds, everyone reaches for their phone at once, and commercial cellular networks get overloaded. For first responders and the teams that support them, that means lost visibility into the field, delayed communication, and gaps in the data to coordinate responses effectively.

Today, we’re excited to announce the FirstNet Trusted™ AI Dashcam Plus, purpose-built for America’s first responders and the broader public safety community. It brings together Motive’s advanced safety technology, including accurate AI alerts, with the only nationwide wireless 5G network built with and for eligible first responders and those who support them.

The result is safety technology that keeps your teams connected so you can maintain visibility, reach drivers instantly, and coordinate faster when every second counts.

Stay connected when it matters most through FirstNet®

Unlike commercial networks, FirstNet®, Built with AT&T, is designed to keep emergency and public safety services connected at all times by providing:

  • Always-on priority and preemption so first responders don’t compete with commercial connectivity.
  • Dedicated connectivity access to all AT&T commercial LTE bands.
  • High reliability and security tailored to public safety operations.

A FirstNet Trusted™ device has passed rigorous cybersecurity and performance testing and is approved for use on the FirstNet, Built with AT&T network. These devices are certified to support High Priority Access (HPA) and are validated for security readiness.

How always-on connectivity supports faster, safer emergency response

For public safety organizations, connectivity isn’t just an IT problem. It’s a life-saving issue. 

When commercial cellular networks get overwhelmed during major incidents, critical alerts, GPS data, and video uploads get delayed just when you need them most. Without reliable, real-time data and video, you lack the context to support crews effectively, coordinate multi-agency response, and protect your personnel. And if incident footage is delayed or never arrives, it becomes harder to reconstruct events, exonerate personnel, or improve training and policy.

These aren’t abstract issues. They show up every time a storm hits, a citywide event spikes network use, or multiple agencies converge on the same incident.
