Emergency Broadcast System to hit cellphones
Looks like the Emergency Broadcast System will be making the migration from TVs to cellphones if all goes according to Alcatel-Lucent’s plan of creating the Broadcast Message Center (BMC). This feature will allow government agencies to send immediate alerts to cellphones whenever there is a state, local or national emergency. All of such messages will be sent using a text messaging system using the BMC, and will be geographically-targeted. Currently, the Broadcast Message Center has undergone testing already in San Diego and Tampa, and is currently undergoing field trials with all the major mobile phone carriers. Operational capability has been targeted at April 2012 if all goes well.
