In New Jersey, AT&T invested nearly $1.8 billion in our network infrastructure from 2020-2024 to connect more people to greater possibility.
Every American deserves access to fast, reliable connectivity when it matters most—whether it’s an important call to a family member or friend, the internet that powers work or online learning, or the connection that first responders rely on. It’s this connectivity that’s powering economic growth and supporting job creation across America.
As public safety’s partner, we are bringing better connectivity to public safety when and where they need it. Now with more than 2.99M square miles of coverage, FirstNet®, Built with AT&T has the largest network footprint in the country, covering more first responders than competing commercial networks, and we are only continuing to grow.
As part of our 10-year, $8B+ investment initiative with the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) to transform public safety’s communications, we’ve completed the buildout of 1,000 new FirstNet sites across the country—well ahead of schedule and almost twice as fast as we pledged—providing first responders with dedicated connectivity on public safety’s Band 14 spectrum.
In New Jersey, we’re connecting public safety agencies and organizations in more than 710 localities and we’ve rolled out Band 14 on more than 1350 sites across the state.
And we’re not just investing in our network, we’re also investing in our communities. AT&T announced last year it’s committing an additional $3 billion by 2030 to help close the digital divide, bringing the company’s total commitment to $5 billion since 2021.
AT&T also committed $460K from 2021–2023 to organizations and initiatives in the Garden State focused on closing the digital divide. We’re also honored to be opening our first AT&T Connected Learning Center in Perth Amboy this fall.
