There are two types of iAlert-

Group Messaging- Group Messaging is a warning and alerting system based on text or voice messaging via a cell phone network, for effective communication with first responders and other stakeholders (Govt./Public) who are responsible for the management of an emergency or disaster situation. It provides advance intimation to officials to initiate preventive actions to minimize likely of human lives due to impending disaster. It can also be useful in sharing post-disaster information like helpline numbers, nearest rescue shelters, the do’s and don’ts, and other helpful information.

It sends messages in the form of text SMS/Voice messages to a pre-determined set of phone numbers. SMS and Voice messages will be sent in different languages so that all members of the community in vulnerable areas can understand the message. It can also forward warning messages via social media platforms as well as media broadcast stations.

 

iAlert Location-Based system- iAlert allows for sending text messages (SMS) to all mobile subscribers present in the vulnerable area to be affected by Cyclone or any other Disaster. It also includes both national subscribers and international roamers. The operator is able to draw a polygon of a particular area through a GIS map and send alerts to all the mobile phone users who are present at that time inside the polygon. It sends alerts to people based on their real-time location at the time of sending the alert. Our solution is independent of the mobile handset, i.e. it supports both smartphones and feature phones/non-smartphones). Furthermore, our solution does not require any configuration changes on the subscribers’ handsets.

It provides for two solutions models depending on the privacy laws of the country:

De-Centralized – All citizen information is always kept at TSP premises and data is never sent to concerned entities. The central system allows for sending commands to the system at the TSP premise, which will, in turn, send out alerts depending on the request received from the central system.

Centralized – All data is stored in the secured form at the central system and Alerts are processed on request of the users, while direct access to complete data is avoided.
