EU-Alert
EU-Alert is a Public Warning System designed to disseminate emergency alerts to mobile phones based on Cell Broadcast technology, as defined by ETSI standards. National authorities are able to disseminate emergency alerts and warning messages through the system. EU-Alert is a standard designed for interoprability and national implementation may vary. The standards are based on NL-Alert from the Netherlands, which first became operational in 2012. EU-Alert standard The EU-Alert standard (TS 102 900 V1.3.1) as defined by ETSI is the European Public Warning Service using the Cell Broadcast Service as a means of delivering public warning messages to the general public. Cell Broadcast is not affected by traffic load; therefore, it is very suitable during a disaster when load spikes of data, SMS and voice calls usage ( mass call events) tend to significantly congest mobile networks, as multiple events have shown. Specific countries using the EU-Alert service are identified by repla ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Cell Broadcast
Cell Broadcast (CB) is a method of simultaneously sending Short Message Service, short messages to multiple mobile telephone users in a defined area. It is defined by the ETSI's GSM committee and 3GPP and is part of the 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G standards. It is also known as Short Message Service-Cell Broadcast (SMS-CB or CB SMS). Unlike Short Message Service-Point to Point (SMS-PP), Cell Broadcast is a Point-to-multipoint communication, one-to-many geo-targeted and geo-fenced messaging service. Cell Broadcast technology is widely used for Emergency population warning, public warning systems. History Cell Broadcast messaging was first demonstrated in Paris in 1997. Some mobile operators used Cell Broadcast for communicating the area code of the antenna cell to the mobile user (via channel 050), for nationwide or citywide alerting, weather reports, mass messaging, location-based service, location-based news, etc. Cell broadcast has been widely deployed since 2008 by major Asian, US, Ca ...

Emergency Mobile Alert
Emergency Mobile Alerts (EMA) is an alerting network in New Zealand designed to disseminate emergency alerts to mobile devices. Emergency Mobile Alerts are messages about emergencies sent by New Zealand authorised emergency agencies to capable mobile phones. The alerts are sent to participating wireless providers who will distribute the alerts to their customers with compatible devices via Cell Broadcast, a technology best suitable for public warning as it simultaneously delivers messages to all phones using a Mobile Cell tower. Similar solutions are implemented in the United States (Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)), The Netherlands ( NL-Alert), European Union (EU-Alert), Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Chile, Philippines. One2many B.V. provides this modern Emergency Mobile Alert system including the Cell Broadcast systems and the CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) based centralised Public Warning management system. Adoption rate Emergency Mobile Alerts has been used in New Zealand since Nov ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

NL-Alert Voorbeeld
NL-Alert is a Cell Broadcast alarm system in use by the Dutch government to quickly alert and inform citizens of hazardous or crisis situations. Using this system, authorities can send messages to users of mobile phones in specific areas by using specific cell towers to alert phones within their reach. NL-Alert is one of the first implementations of the EU-Alert or Reverse 1-1-2 legislation as defined by the binding European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) using the Cell Broadcast technology for the delivery of public warning messages to the general public. Usage of the Service The system was introduced nationally on 8 November 2012, and was first used in a large fire in Tolbert on 14 December 2012. The second use was in another fire in Meppel in 2013. NL-Alert has been used more than 200 times as of December 2017 for public warning purposes (e.g. large forest & industrial fires, severe weather conditions and gas leakages).

FR-Alert
FR-Alert is a national emergency population warning system in France using cell broadcast technology. It is used by French authorities (prefects or mayors) to quickly alert and inform the public via mobile phones in case of an imminent or ongoing major emergency or disaster. The term ''red alert'' (''vigilance rouge'') indicates immediate danger to life or physical safety. The system is linked to both the French SAIP system and the European EU-Alert framework. Within the danger zone, FR-Alert provides information on the nature of the crisis and the behavior to adopt to ensure safety. It requires operational electrical grid and mobile telephony networks to function. Description This is a national system, based on the EU-wide EU-Alert standard defined in the European Electronic Communications Code, which sets harmonized specifications for public warning services. Developed and deployed by Intersec, it has been operational since . It allows authorities to send indiscriminate alert ...

Wireless Emergency Alerts
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), formerly known as the Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) and, prior to that, as the Personal Localized Alerting Network (PLAN), is an alerting network in the United States designed to disseminate emergency alerts to cell phones using Cell Broadcast technology, similar to the radio and television counterpart, the Emergency Alert System. Organizations are able to disseminate and coordinate emergency alerts and warning messages through WEA and other public systems by means of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System. Background The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed and adopted the network structure, operational procedures and technical requirements in 2007 and 2008 in response to the ''Warning, Alert, and Response Network (WARN) Act'' passed by Congress in 2006, which allocated $106 million to fund the program. CMAS will allow federal agencies to accept and aggregate alerts from the President of the United States, the Natio ...
