Maintain Communications with a Route Diverse and Resilient Local Access Network

The National Communications System (NCS) welcomes you to the Route Diversity Project homepage. The Route Diversity Project seeks to help local, state, and Federal agencies in increasing the resiliency of their local access networks. By improving resiliency, a local, state, or Federal agency can increase the probability that communications are always available.

The project includes:

• Tools and Capabilities: Assist an entity in increasing network resiliency through risk and infrastructure analysis
  
  
• Technology Research: Present information on communications technologies and services, including those evaluated by the NCS during "real-world" field trials
  
  
• Resiliency Guide: Outlines ten key steps in increasing route diversity and resiliency in the local access network
  
  
• NCS Priority Services: Links to information on NCS communications priority service and restoration programs, including Wireless Priority Service (WPS), Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS), and Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP)
  

The Route Diversity Project is continually seeking to add new material to the site that will help users with their communications networks.  If you have any suggestions or ideas for content that should be included, please contact routediversity@dhs.gov.
