Public warning and citizen services

The authority's alert reaches the defined area and citizens access services from any phone.

The problem

The demand on the operator

In an earthquake, flood or fire, the authority requires alerting every device in an area without congesting the network. Afterwards, citizens need guidance.

The response

ATC's response

Sx-Cell Broadcast disseminates the alert by cell, area or polygon. Sx-USSD Gateway offers menus for shelters, reports and queries without data or an app.

How it works

How it operates in the network

  1. The authority issues

    The alert enters the cell broadcast center from the map-based console.

  2. The network broadcasts

    The broadcast reaches the cells in the defined area, without congesting the network.

  3. Citizens query

    A USSD menu offers shelters, reports and a check on the status of their IMEI.

ATC reviews the platform the operator prioritizes and proposes the appropriate configuration. Sizing and review are provided at no cost.

  • Review of the platform and the network interfaces
  • Sizing according to the operator's infrastructure
