First responders in Houston gain access to 5G+ on FirstNet®, America’s public safety network
HOUSTON, April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —
What’s the news? We’re taking the fan experience to the next level with the introduction of AT&T 5G+ at Toyota Center. 5G+ is our name for 5G delivered using millimeter wave spectrum, which is ideal for high-traffic areas. That means the Rockets players won’t be the only ones putting up unprecedented performances.
Why is this important? AT&T customers and FirstNet subscribers with a compatible device and qualifying plan will now have access to the super-fast speeds and increased connectivity ideal for venues like Toyota Center.1
Who can use this? AT&T 5G+ will enable incredible innovation and unlock immersive experiences – especially when sold-out crowds can once again pack the arena and celebrate Rockets wins and enjoy big name entertainers in concert.
In addition to fans, first responders on FirstNet in the Houston area will also have access to AT&T 5G+ at Toyota Center. They will maintain voice communication through always-on priority and preemption on LTE and the intuitive FirstNet network will determine the best route for data traffic, whether that’s 5G+ or LTE spectrum.
Where can I get it? AT&T 5G+ is available in parts of 38 cities and more than 20 venues across the country. Learn more about AT&T’s 5G network at att.com/5gforyou and check out AT&T’s 5G coverage in the Houston area and across the Gulf coast of Texas here.
