Rapid Alert
With Rapid Alert, subscribers can now be notified of important events and emergency situations wherever and whenever without any delays. Rapid Alert provides delivery of personalized notification over any medium including Mobile, PC, Landlines and more. It also features a text to landline gateway that enables mobile operators to deliver short text messages via voice calls to any landline phone.
Message origination is independent of network type (GSM, GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, EVDO), and voice termination is independent of access technology (copper, DSL, cable, WiFi, WiMax).
In April 2008, the U.S. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) approved a proposal to have Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) deployed by the end of 2008. Recent catastrophic weather results—from the fires in California to the flooding along the Mississippi and the tornados in the southern states—are driving the need for timely emergency alert notification delivery to the mass general population. It doesn’t stop there. Educational institutions, state and local government worldwide, and enterprises are seeing the benefits of Rapid Alert.
The Rapid Alert broadcast communications tool allows enterprises and communities to communicate:
- Emergency Situations
- School Closures
- Event cancellations
- Amber Alerts
- Public Safety notices (gas leaks, water line breaks, accidents)
- Utility outages and updates
