PWS for Governments
PWS for Governments
In light of the natural disasters, terrorist attacks and health crises that have been afflicting the world, many governments are mandating mobile network operators to deploy new Public Warning Systems (PWS) to help safeguard the public more effectively. Many countries are considering to issue directives to implement this technology.
Hacom understands that the management of such events requires more than a simple message to all mobile devices. By extending the capabilities from outgoing message to movement tracking and follow-up messages, the emergency services are empowered with the tools and information that allow them to manage what can be complex and frightening situations for the public.
Hacom Technologies offers the two types of PWS that are recommended by the European Emergency Number Association (EENA) to effectively reach people in a specific area, on their mobile phones.
Cell Broadcast: a location-based broadcasting platform that works even during network congestion.
Traceable Disaster Alerts: a location-based SMS system that can alert the public, provide message delivery receipts and further monitor population movements for safeguarding purposes.
Cell Broadcast and Traceable Disaster Alerts can be bought and used separately or together; some countries have decided to use both solution types. Integrating the two solutions indeed helps to optimise the emergency response efforts.
