National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP)

 

All federal agencies must have a comprehensive National Security/Emergency Preparedness program that includes a highly reliable telecommunications infrastructure, which can provide priority access to the services available through Networx.

In the event of an emergency, agencies will have resilient voice and data connections through the following suite of NS/EP services:
