Priority Services Modeling Support

Provide Emergency Communications Division (ECD) with resources to provide modeling support, to include modeling and analysis of public telecommunications network performance and the effectiveness of proposed and implemented priority mechanisms to provide required service for National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) users during disasters. As public telecommunications services continue to evolve, this modeling support is needed on an ongoing basis. The modeling support is an integral part of the ECD implementation of DHS acquisition policy and guidance. Modeling is also essential as a means to influence standards development organizations as they develop protocols necessary for NS/EP users to meet required performance in new generations of technologies. Work will be performed at the contractor s site.
