Americans depend on the existing Emergency Communications Systems (ECS) to save lives, either via 911 calls to ambulance, police and fire services or via the broadcast Emergency Alert System. The existing Emergency Communications Systems (ECS) infrastructure is becoming increasingly outdated due to the migration of voice and video services to Internet-based technologies. The Network Slicing for Emergency Communications (NSEC) is a prototype US Ignite demonstration project that will utilize GENI slices to create a demonstration system of a robust, reliable, and scalable alternative to existing ECS. This demonstration will use network slicing to provide priority and dedicated bandwidth and cloud services to simplify operations, create sustainability and maintain extensibility. The GENI slicing framework will also provide isolation from Denial of Service attacks. The City of Ammon (Bonneville County), Idaho, Albion Telephone Company (ATC), an Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) with territories located in Southern Idaho and Northern Utah, and Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency (UTOPIA) with serving territories throughout Utah will support this effort. This proposed effort will document technical and organizational issues, serve as the initial demonstration of the feasibility, and provide the initial building blocks for an open standard implementation of a next generation ECS. The project addresses critical needs in emergency communications, a national priority issue; provides a path forward for communities and agencies desiring to address current ECS deficiencies, and provides a small scale transportable system for on-location demonstrations; and establishes an extensible open source ECS capable of supporting continued research and development without affecting current emergency communications systems operations.

美国人依靠现有的紧急通信系统（ECS）来拯救生命，无论是通过911呼叫救护车，警察和消防服务，还是通过广播紧急警报系统。 由于语音和视频服务迁移到基于互联网的技术，现有的应急通信系统（ECS）基础设施正变得越来越过时。 应急通信网络切片（NSEC）是一个原型美国应急示范项目，它将利用GENI切片创建一个示范系统，作为现有ECS的强大、可靠和可扩展的替代方案。 该演示将使用网络切片来提供优先级和专用带宽以及云服务，以简化操作，创造可持续性并保持可扩展性。 GENI切片框架还将提供与拒绝服务攻击的隔离。 爱达荷州阿蒙市（邦纳维尔县）、阿尔比恩电话公司（ATC）、位于爱达荷州南部和犹他州北方的现有本地交换运营商（ILEC）以及服务犹他州全境的犹他州电信开放基础设施局（UTOPIA）将支持这一努力。这项拟议的工作将记录技术和组织问题，作为可行性的初步演示，并为下一代ECS的开放标准实施提供初始构建块。 该项目解决了紧急通信的关键需求，这是一个国家优先问题;为希望解决当前ECS缺陷的社区和机构提供了一条前进的道路，并为现场演示提供了一个小规模的可移动系统;并建立了一个可扩展的开源ECS，能够支持持续的研究和开发，而不会影响当前的紧急通信系统操作。
