 Rogers Wireless Announces Deployment of Wireless Priority Service in Canada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Rogers Wireless today announced the first national implementation of Wireless Priority Service (WPS) in Canada, a feature which provides government-authorized wireless phone-users, such as emergency personnel and select security sectors, with priority service on the Rogers Wireless GSM network during times of emergency, natural disaster or national security.
Increased wireless phone usage by the general public in times of loss of power, flood and other natural disasters can result in a strain on network capacity, thereby challenging the ability of security and emergency personnel in obtaining access to the mobile network.
The Rogers WPS feature enables emergency personnel to place critical wireless calls by moving these calls to the "front of the line" so that they may be completed using the next available wireless radio channel.
