Nokia s life-saving emergency alert system gs global #MWC5

Easy-to-use platform for public safety authorities to define emergency area and provide information

Operators can use their subscriber data to deliver alerts to people known to be inside an emergency area within minutes

Consumers get potentially life-saving messages directly onto their mobile devices

Barcelona, Spain - 1 March 2015

Subscriber data can be used by operators to help governments and public safety agencies to quickly and efficiently alert their subscribers to nearby threats. Nokias Emergency Alert solution delivers potentially life-saving messages to mobile subscribers in specified areas, warning of dangerous natural disasters or other emergencies.

In many countries, where natural disasters take place quite often, government regulation has made it mandatory for operators to have a system in place for communicating emergency alerts. This is the case for example in Australia, the USA, and Japan. In the European Union, discussions about this are on-going. The Nokia solution helps operators to fulfill such regulatory obligations.

Easy interface for government & operators for rapid emergency alert: An easy-to-use graphical interface allows authorities to specify a message and area of delivery directly to the operator. The operators side of the interface is integrated with its network traffic data sources like probes, Traffica and visitor location register (VLR) to select affected subscribers within 180 seconds and send them the message via SMS or cell broadcast. The system monitors the campaign and can produce detailed reports on delivery success rates to the operator and authority. It also allows operators to charge authorities for this service.
