__Natacha Baroni,__ Energy Product Marketing Expert
In an emergency, [first responders](https://www.t-mobile.com/business/government/public-safety) like police, fire, and emergency medical services rush to the scene. But [energy utilities](https://www.t-mobile.com/business/industry-solutions/energy) often play a crucial role as well. Power outages frequently occur along with wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. And cyberattacks, electromagnetic pulses, and geomagnetic storms can also undermine utility operations.
When an incident interrupts the power supply, utility workers respond immediately to address hazards and get public health and safety facilities back online. To recover quickly, everyone must work as a team, confirming resources, updating tasks, and relaying essential information. The preferred access to communications is through WPS, meaning Wireless Priority Services. T-Mobile provides preferred access to communication at no additional cost to utility companies enrolled in wireless priority access (WPS). T-Mobile also delivers prioritization and preemption to voice and data services to help communities when they need it the most.
DEFINITION
## What is Wireless Priority Service?
## What is Wireless Priority Service?
[Wireless Priority Services](https://www.t-mobile.com/business/resources/wireless-priority-service-wps) give authorized devices priority calling on nationwide and regional cellular networks when users dial the \*272 code—but doesn’t preempt calls in progress or block public network use. WPS calls bypass network congestion and degradation and enjoy a 95% completion rate, giving first responders' cell phones priority. The service is managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
BENEFITS
## How does WPS benefit utility workers?
## How does WPS benefit utility workers?
Your utility technicians may be making an urgent call or sharing critical files. They need access to the network NOW—and can count on it thanks to these WPS benefits:
- __Priority access__—first responders with WPS receive priority and are moved to the front of the communication line
- __Preemption__—a non-priority user without WPS is dropped off the network to make room for the first responder with WPS
- __End-to-end prioritization__—using WPS by dialing \*272 or using the Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS)/WPS app gives your call priority even if the recipient is on a different network
