Tamazari | FirstNet Fleet Telematics Implementation with Samsara
Keep Critical Fleet Operations Connected With FirstNet-Enabled Telematics
When crews are responding to outages, severe weather or other emergencies, reliable connectivity can become just as important as the vehicles themselves. FirstNet is a dedicated communications network built for first responders and public safety organizations.
We help these teams implement Samsara fleet telematics with FirstNet connectivity. Our experts bring deployment planning, system integration and workforce training together so teams can better use fleet data during everyday operations and emergency response.
FirstNet-Enabled Telematics
for Utilities and Emergency Response
Utilities and Restoration Crews
For eligible electric, gas, water and wastewater organizations, FirstNet-enabled telematics can support vehicle visibility during outages, storm response and restoration work.
EMS, Fire and
Public Safety Fleets
FirstNet-enabled emergency vehicle telematics can give dispatchers and fleet managers access to vehicle locations and diagnostic information.
Public Works and
Transportation Operations
Operations supporting snow response, road clearance, evacuations and other emergency work can use FirstNet-enabled telematics to gain a coordinated view of fleet activity when demand is high.
How Samsara, Tamazari and FirstNet Work Together

FirstNet provides the cellular network and priority access available to eligible users. The Samsara VG55-FN Vehicle Gateway supports 4G LTE connectivity across Band 14 and AT&T commercial LTE bands, with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot for mobile devices. Through this gateway, Samsara collects vehicle and driver data and supports GPS tracking, diagnostics, reports and alerts. Tamazari coordinates deployment, configuration, integration, testing and adoption around operating requirements.
Together, these capabilities support a fleet environment where teams can locate vehicles, review available diagnostic information and coordinate field activity.
Our FirstNet-Enabled Telematics Implementation Services
By guiding adoption and connecting telematics with operational systems, we help emergency fleets move more efficiently.
Fleet Data and Enterprise Integration
We define how fleet information should connect HR systems, fleet management information systems, maintenance platforms and GIS. Integration planning addresses data ownership, record accuracy and workflow requirements, with scope based on the capabilities of each connected system.
Fleet Assessment and Deployment Planning
We review your vehicles, existing telematics environment, operating areas and response priorities. We help coordinate eligibility and device requirements with the appropriate providers, define pilot objectives and establish a rollout plan with clear responsibilities across fleet, IT and operations.
Testing and Operational Handover
We validate configurations, permissions and operational workflows with the people who will use them. Documented testing, user acceptance and support responsibilities give your team a clear foundation for managing the platform after launch.
Gateway Rollout and Platform Configuration
We coordinate installation and activation activities, validate vehicle records and configure Samsara around the information your teams need. That includes user permissions, vehicle groups, dashboards and alerts aligned with operational roles and available vehicle data.
Training and Workforce Adoption
We help drivers, supervisors and administrators understand how the technology supports their work. Our approach includes stakeholder engagement, practical training and clear expectations for data use, privacy and coaching. Union coordination is incorporated where applicable.
FirstNet Fleet Telematics FAQs
What is FirstNet Fleet Telematics?
FirstNet fleet telematics combines compatible vehicle technology with FirstNet connectivity. In a Samsara deployment, a FirstNet-enabled gateway transmits vehicle and driver information to the cloud, where authorized teams can use it for fleet visibility, reporting and operational decisions.
Can Utilities use FirstNet?
Utilities that support public safety may qualify. FirstNet identifies utility activities such as clearing downed power lines and responding to gas leaks as examples of that support. Eligibility must be confirmed for the organization and intended users. Learn about FirstNet for utilities.
Which Samsara Gateway Supports FirstNet?
Samsara identifies the VG55-FN Vehicle Gateway as FirstNet Trusted™. Deployment planning should confirm the appropriate hardware, vehicle compatibility and service activation requirements. View Samsara's FirstNet device information.
What is the Difference Between Priority and Preemption?
Priority gives eligible traffic preferential network access. Preemption can make capacity available by moving lower-priority traffic aside. First responders receive always-on priority and preemption.
How does Tamazari Support Implementation?
Tamazari helps coordinate the work required to make the deployment usable: planning, configuration, system integration, data validation, training and operational handover. We align those activities with your fleet's workflows and the providers' device and service requirements.
