LONDON, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Telit, a global
enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that four
more of its modules are now certified and approved for use on
FirstNet. These four latest modules, the ME310G1-WW and ME310G1-W1,
and the ME910G1-WW and ME910G1-W1 are some of the first modules
approved to support LTE-M for first responders and public safety
devices. Telit now has a total of nine LTE modules and data cards
certified for use on FirstNet, highlighting the company's
commitment to the first responder community and its longstanding
relationship with AT&T.
FirstNet is built with AT&T in a public-private partnership
with the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet
Authority) – an independent agency within the federal government.
It's the only nationwide, high-speed broadband
communications platform dedicated to and purpose-built for
America's first responders and the extended public safety
community.
AT&T previously certified the ME310G1 and ME910G1 for LTE-M
and NB-IoT use. Today's certifications extend that approval to
LTE-M on the FirstNet network in the B2, B4 and B12 bands. FirstNet
extended primary users -- serving the first responder and public
safety communities -- can choose between two different power
classes, each available in two form factors. FirstNet extended
primary users are organizations and agencies that could be called
on to help support public safety in day-to-day operations and
during emergency response. For more information, visit

The device certifications enable FirstNet extended primary users
to leverage the ME310G1 and ME910G1 in critical infrastructure
management, even when disaster strikes. For example, utility
companies can use their ME310G1- and ME910G1-powered devices for
advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), energy grid monitoring and
smart lighting.
"FirstNet devices and modules go through extensive review, so
first responders can be confident that Telit's LTE-M modules meet
our highest standards for reliability, security and performance,"
said Brenda Kittila, vice president,
FirstNet Operations at AT&T. "The more tools public safety has
access to on their network, the more we can help them achieve their
mission."
"Certification of the Telit ME310G1 and ME910G1 for LTE-M use on
the FirstNet network highlights our company's longstanding
commitment to providing first responders and their partners with
reliable, secure, high-performance devices and services," said
Manish Watwani, chief marketing and product officer, Telit. "With
these modules, systems designers now have a wider range of
pre-certified solutions for developing IoT controllers and sensors,
terminals and other hardware that FirstNet users and others in
public safety can depend on."
