Government Emergency Telephone System / Wireless Priority Service
https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/services/government-emergency-telecommunications-service-gets
For executive leaders to field personnel, GETS is a valuable service for individuals with national security and emergency preparedness responsibilities within:
• All levels of government (Federal, State, Local, Tribal, Territorial)
• Non-government organizations
• Organizations in the 16 U.S. critical infrastructure sectors (e.g., communications, emergency services, healthcare, energy, food and agriculture, transportation, etc.
GETS / WPS will prioritize access across all providers and cell towers. For example, 1stNet prioritizes calls for all AT&T customers but if the call transfers across a Verizon tower you would no longer have priority on that segment. This is an agreement between the Government and Cell Phone providers that prioritizes access across the entire call with an extremely high connection rate. Plus, it's no cost to you!
