Homeland Security
Our homeland security is of vital importance. Federal law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, border patrols, and military bases are on the front line of our nation's security. Agencies and officers need fast, dependable wireless access with the most coverage for continuous communication and access to data.
AT&T is a leading provider of security capabilities that help keep information private. We have joined forces with industry-leading software and hardware providers to deliver mobile solutions for:
- Federal Emergency Management Agency
- U.S. Department of the Treasury
- Transportation and Security Administration
- U.S. Coast Guard
- U.S. Secret Service
- U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
Another way AT&T helps Homeland Security
Network accessibility is a pillar of AT&T's government grade mobile communications service. That's why AT&T was one of the first carriers to implement Wireless Priority Services (WPS).
By dialing a special code, authorized national security professionals receive priority access to our network during periods of peak congestion-such as during a disaster, when landlines are disrupted. It's one more way wireless from AT&T ensures government users have access to private and reliable communications.
Of course, one of the best ways AT&T helps with Homeland Security is by providing a robust network. With hundreds of recently added cell sites, our network is designed to prevent outages in the first place and to recover quickly if needed. Emergency equipment is ready for immediate deployment. We also provide 24-hour network surveillance and a dedicated help desk for government clients.
