CISA - Next Generation Network Priority Services (NGN-PS)

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) [DHS]

NGN PS is a Presidentially directed development acquisition to define, validate and oversee transition of evolving priority communications in commercial service provider packet-switched (IP) networks. Emergency Communications Division (ECD) of CISA manages NGN PS and Priority Telecommunications Service (PTS). NGN PS prevents a PTS operational gap over evolving technologies for priority services (wireline, wireless voice, data, and video). NGN PS and PTS provide continuous national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) communications when networks are congested or damaged through Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS), Wireless Priority Service (WPS) and Special Routing Arrangement Service (SRAS). These support NS/EP crisis communications during emergencies for Continuity of Operations and Government (COOP/COG), emergency response and recovery to protect lives and property.
