It is a technique used for sending short text messages to all mobile stations (MSs) in a defined geographical area. An potential effect of using CB is the increase in battery consumption of the MS due to the fact that an extra channel has to be used to make the service available even when the network is otherwise congested. Another part of the service which leads to a potential problem is making CB messages available in different languages.

All rights reserved. Cell Broadcast: It Fits The Purpose White Paper by Paul Klein 1 EMERGENCY ALERTS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND When a freight train derailment near Minot, North Dakota, in 2002 spilled anhydrous ammonia and sent up a cloud of poison gas, a public warning over radio was not broadcast for nearly 90 minutes. The designated emergency announcement station’s single employee on duty could not be reached because phone lines were jammed by residents calling in. Authorities tried activating the radio’s Emergency Alert System, but the EAS failed. What if Minot citizens could have received an emergency message on their cell phones warning them of this toxic danger and appropriate directives to safety? When residents of coastal Texas were ordered to evacuate their homes as Hurricane Rita barreled up the Gulf of Mexico in 2005, they had nowhere to go. Escape routes were clogged for days as millions of Houston-area residents, 50 miles farther from danger, fled the storm when they heard the broadcast EAS, rather than waiting for appropriate notification after the citizens in greater danger were safely evacuated.

Over the years, Cell Broadcast has evolved to be feature- rich and user friendly. As the only standardized emergency warning technology service, Cell Broadcast plays a critical role in Public Warning Solutions. No other technology has its unique characteristics. And it’s these characteristics that set it apart from the rest. We’re not alone in this view. Over 20 countries have selected Cell Broadcast as their primary emergency alerting technology.
