Under its agreement with the FirstNet Authority signed in March 2017, AT&T is deploying NPSBN coverage on 700 MHz Band 14 spectrum that is licensed to the FirstNet Authority, with AT&T being paid in stages for completing buildout milestones and reaching subscriber-adoption target on time. With the work officially beginning in March 2018, the contract called for this five-year network buildout—a plan that includes 1,000 new towers in key locations identified by state governments—to be completed in March 2023.
