The frequency and severity of natural disasters and mass shootings seems to increase annually, but mobile operator investments in public safety are increasing even faster. AT&T and FirstNet are investing up to $8 billion in public safety networks over the 10 years, T-Mobile has developed network slicing for first responders and is working with New York City and Los Angeles, and Verizon continues to invest in Frontline to serve tens of thousands of public agencies with automatic prioritization and preemption.

How are in-building systems evolving to keep pace with advances in public safety needs and technologies?
