https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Responder_Network_Authority
The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) of the United States was created under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (MCTRJCA) as an independent authority within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).[1] The purpose of FirstNet is to establish, operate, and maintain an interoperable public safety broadband network. To fulfill these objectives, Congress allotted $7 billion and 20 MHz of radio spectrum to build the network.[2]

Implementation
FirstNet is headquartered in Reston, Virginia, with technical headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. The authority board created a public-private partnership with AT&T in March 2017 to build out FirstNet.
In December, 2017, all 50 states opted in to the network plan with AT&T,[11] but questions remained about when it would be deployed and how cost-effective it is.[12]
Criticism
FirstNet was characterized as "the most wasteful post-9/11 initiative" by the journalist Steven Brill.[13]

TECHNOLOGY
The $47 Billion Network That’s Already Obsolete
FirstNet was envisioned as a way for police and firefighters to communicate with one another in the wake of 9/11. But four years later, it’s still not up and running.

One is NIPR (not secret),
one is SIPR (Secret), and
one is Centrix (Multinational Allies Secret). … So, when I baseline a computer and slap a green NIPR tag on it, or a red SIPR, it just means that they are "connected" to a safer network.
