National Activities

Cyber Security

The Cyber Protection team collaborates with private telecommunications companies and governments to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the networks.

Emergency Telecommunications Data System (ETDS)

This Industry Canada database is where the PAD and WPS numbers are collected. Use this to organize your emergency contacts too.

Priority Access for Dialing (PAD)

Public Alerting

Industry Canada provides technical support to Public Safety Canada in the ongoing development of a Canadian public alerting system.

Wireless Priority Service (WPS)

During an emergency, many of us first reach for our mobile phones. Congestion on antenna towers can be averted with WPS.
