Wireless Priority

Prompt access to your wireless network is critical in emergency situations.

Sometimes, in large-scale emergencies, circuits can become overloaded and wireless networks can become jammed—delaying calls and crucial emergency response.

Make Your Calls a Priority

AT&T's Wireless Priority Service gives emergency agencies priority handling for emergency calls in heavy network traffic. Now, the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security and civilian agencies have the priority access they need to help ensure they get their mission-critical calls through without delay. Wireless Priority Service is available nationwide, providing consistent and reliable service when you need it most. The result of the ability to contact key decision makers in times of emergencies is improved response time and better reactions.

Be Prepared for Unpredictable Situations

No one can predict when a crisis will arise. That's why it's even more important that your emergency personnel have access to Wireless Priority Service. Improve access to your wireless network while improving your workers' abilities to respond to emergencies quickly and efficiently to help ensure public and national security.
