EXHIBIT A ctia CONSUMER CODE TM ct *ia �6�0 CONSUMER CODE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN T-Mobile is able to function in emergency situations as set forth in Section 54.201(a)(2), which includes "a demonstration that it has a reasonable amount of back-up power to ensure functionality without an external power source, is able to reroute traffic around damaged facilities, and is capable of managing traffic spikes resulting from emergency situations."' In particular, T-Mobile has the following capabilities to remain functional in emergency situations: Availability of fixed and portable back-up power generators at various network locations throughout T-Mobile's network that can be deployed in emergency situations. • Ability to reroute traffic around damaged or out-of-service facilities through the deployment of cell-on-wheels ("COWs"), redundant facilities, and dynamic rerouting of traffic over alternate facilities. • A network control center that monitors network traffic and anticipates traffic spikes, and can then(i) deploy network facilities to accommodate capacity needs, (ii) change call routing translations, and(iii) deploy COWS to temporarily meet traffic needs until longer-term solutions, such as additional capacity and antenna towers can be deployed. • The majority of sites not equipped with fixed generators have battery back-up systems installed to maintain service in the event of a widespread power outage. 147 C.F.R. § 54.202(a)(2).

DISASTER READINESS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DRIVES OUR PREPARATION AND RESPONSE TO DISASTER EVENTS When T-Mobile becomes aware of an upcoming event such as a hurricane or storm,our organization acts before a disaster occurs.Highly detailed emergency operations plans have been created and implemented nationwide and technical personnel have been trained.This preparation allows us to maximize resource availability and reduce response time.Here are some examples of how we prepare and act.

Cell site disaster planning ■a Cell sites are strategically equipped to accommodate backup power sources(e.g., batteries,fixed generators,portable generator connectors)to provide continuous coverage regardless of the scale of a disaster.We've also implemented a distributed architecture for interconnection redundancy utilizing dual fiber facilities at switch locations.Communications from T-Mobile cell sites are backhauled with various combinations of ethernet,copper,fiber,and microwave systems.The T-Mobile radio network provides significant overlapping coverage areas,which often allow cell sites to fully or partially compensate for a neighboring cell site. Switch disaster planning Site recovery plans have been developed for major switch locations.Prioritizing r available options for relocation,to help ensure agility when faced with disaster recovery issues.Mobile switching centers have permanent,on-site emergency backuppower for use in the event of a momentary or extended power failure.The p Y P Y are protected by FM-200 or Pre-Action Dry Fire Systems.They are also equipped with spare equipment inventory for all critical network elements.Switching systems are designed with geo-redundancy for continuity of operations. I I IP backbone failover and recovery The T-Mobile IP network uses multiple logical adjacencies over physically diverse paths.There are multiple diverse paths between any two nodes on the backbone. r- These backbone links travel over fiber that is physically diverse from other fiber paths.The IP backbone is regularly reviewed and augmented for capacity needs and i� can reroute traffic based on dynamic routing protocols.Thanks to the high level of diversity and fast convergence of the network,most fiber outages will go completely unnoticed by our customers.The IP backbone uses technology to take advantage of potential fiber paths during a disruption.The capacity available in the backbone helps ensure congestion-free service during normal operations and provides failover bandwidth in the event of one or more link outages.IP backbone network routers have at least two physical connections,redundant processors,and redundant power supplies(such as batteries and diesel generators)at all sites.Equipment is installed in secure T-Mobile facilities that are built to withstand natural disasters. Network deployable assets and response vehicles T%VAil Our response fleet of vehicles is pre-staged across our operational areas to enable '= rapid response and includes COLTs,COWs,generators,mobile command centers, and customized communication Jeeps,to help provide satellite service in the worst conditions.Our Satellite Cell on Light Trucks(SatCOLTs)can deploy within minutes and operate in some of the toughest terrains to support our customers when they i need us most.In addition,we have a full array of response vehicles such as tow vehicles,snowmobiles,airboats,and high-water vehicles that allow us to access areas hardest hit by disaster.We will never stop working to make our network the best for our customers. 5 DISASTER READINESS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE HOW WE RESPOND Response operations T-Mobile has multiple strategies in place for emergency •_ management and rapid response to quickly address and respond to all types and sizes of events and to support our customers across the globe.We understand the importance .�, of reliable communications and always-on connectivity. > We have a long history of moving quickly and efficiently in emergency situations to ensure our customers can stay connected when they need it the most. When our network team receives notification of an actual or potential situation that requires activation(such as a hurricane,earthquake,regional power outage,or another - event where business as usual would not resolve the w situation),a virtual T-Mobile Emergency Operations Centers r - (EOC)is established to oversee and manage the company's �— response to an event from the beginning to end.This , EOC performs an initial overall assessment,establishes monitoring bridges,coordinates between agencies impacted by the event,assigns tasks,gathers status information,and _ performs executive notifications at prescribed times. - : We maintain an organized and integrated suite of disaster ..�� plans and procedures.To aid in situation assessment, response,and resource tracking,our network teams leverage tools such as: ■ Hardened GPS-enabled phones ■ Wireless modems ■ Custom applications ■ IoT solutions ■ Smartphones These multilayered investments are designed to deliver industry-leading service continuity. When disaster strikes in one area of the country and there is a need for additional on-the-ground support,we have an Emergency Volunteer Team comprised ofT-Mobile employees across the US who personally volunteer to go into disaster-impacted areas to help keep our customers connected. i ( DISASTER READINESS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE Public safety grade preparedness and response Strengthening emergency response plans for our public Preparedness safety customers and critical infrastructure partners is a ERT personnel engage proactively with local,state, long-standing practice at T-Mobile.A component of the federal,and critical infrastructure planners.This includes T-Mobile Emergency Management Team is our Emergency collaboration with leaders from organizations such as the Response Team(ERT)—a national group with vast experience Department of Defense,the Federal Emergency Management in all aspects of public safety operations and mission-based Agency,the Department of Homeland Security's Critical support.ERT is available 24/7,coordinating the necessary Infrastructure Security Agency(CISA),and the Federal resources to help ensure reliable network services are Communications Commission.Long before events occur, available for public safety and first responders. they work on: ■ Policy development ■ Response frameworks ■ Best practices ■ Training coordination ■ Exercises ■ Enhancing national readiness This collaboration promotes the readiness and operational ! capacities of new T-Mobile as well as local,state,and federal entities,and other critical infrastructure and essential service partners.
