Emergency Alerting
The Emergency Alerting System is used by emergency services authorities and government to issue warnings to the public about emergencies such as cyclone, flood, epidemic, law enforecement, terrorism, tsunami and wildfire.
Alerts are delivered by telephone, email, SMS, fax, and wireless simultaneously. Built-in intelligence monitors telecom network performance to determine the best path and predictive network throughput. The system adjusts for carrier outages and congestion during extreme emergency conditions.
Emergency Alerting System supports the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), an XML-based data format for exchanging public warnings and emergencies between alerting technologies.
Emergency services organisations can communicate with our hosted system from anywhere in the world via CAP to initiate and manage emergency alerting solutions, thereby providing a rapid deployment solution without the capital expense.
Examples of our deployments:
Whole of Government
Switching millions of calls each year since 2004.
