AT&T blamed itself for "incorrect process used as we were expanding our network."

    My understanding is that emergency services are either 2G or a mesh infrastructure (perhaps both? I am still learning tech.

      No there is dedicated LTE and 5G bans for First Responders. Normal users can use it, but when First Responders connect to it they deprioritze everyone else on the band.

        Than what is 2G still used for?

          ATT doesn’t have a 2G network anymore. They phased it out in 2017.

      Emergency services use 4g LTE when they’re connecting through a hotspot. They’re still have local radio communications, but anything network wise is regular 4g.
