Wireless messaging for mass information and alerting in emergency situations
With governments mandating public-warning systems to alert their populations in situations of heightened risk, the mobile phone is an ideal medium for this purpose.
Alert Broadcast Centre (ABC) is Enghouse Networks solution for wireless public alerting. It supports the geo-targeted, mass distribution of emergency messages to mobile subscribers via multiple different channels (Cell Broadcast, SMS, Push Notifications, MMS, USSD). It also supports all standard interfaces through which authorities may submit alerting campaigns (CAP, CMAS, WPAS) and can easily accommodate others.
Depending on the architecture specified for a national alerting system, Alert Broadcast Centre can be offered as a central solution to the national authority or to the operators of public wireless networks to help meet their statutory obligations in support of national and local alerting.
Alert Broadcast Centre can also support the configuration and scheduling of commercial messaging campaigns that do not interfere with emergency alerting, which can help operators to monetise their investment.
