Alert dissemination through mobile networks

Infographic

Two technologies send geo-targeted mobile alerts: Cell Broadcast, reaching every device in an area, and location-based SMS, reaching located subscribers with delivery confirmation. This infographic maps and compares both. Not competing, strongest combined.

Cell Broadcast vs. Location-Based SMS

Comparison sheet

Cell Broadcast and location-based SMS are the world's leading emergency notification technologies, together reaching up to 100% of the population. This comparison sheet shows how each works and why combining them delivers complete coverage.

6 rules for effective mobile alert messages

Infographic

Since 2018, we've refined public warning best practices from operators and authorities worldwide. This infographic distils them into six rules for writing alerts that are effective, accessible, and inclusive.

Which alert channels should be used in a major crisis?

Infographic

No single channel fits every disaster. This infographic maps how to combine mobile, traditional, digital, and satellite channels across the crisis lifecycle, tailored to each incident type, and shows how AI helps issuers target and adapt in real time.

Which public alerting for an emergency?

Flowchart

Under EU law, authorities must be able to alert phones in a defined area. But which technology fits a tsunami, flash flood, or dirty bomb? This flowchart maps concrete scenarios, showing how Cell Broadcast and location-based SMS adapt to each.

Integrated EWS/PWS framework

Infographic

Early warning and public alerting work best as one integrated framework, not separate systems. This infographic maps the full chain, from risk knowledge to response, along the four pillars of the UN ITU's Early Warnings for All initiative.

Understanding passive & active mobile positioning techniques

Infographic

Active location identifies a single SIM on demand; passive location tracks every subscriber continuously. This infographic shows why combining both creates a multiplier effect: 100% coverage, 5-metre accuracy, and up to 5,000 location points per subscriber daily.

Network Location Platform - The NEP alternative

Comparison sheet

Network Equipment Providers cover the standards-based essentials but stop short on accuracy, scale, interoperability, and monetization. This comparison maps NEPs against Intersec across ten criteria, showing where a vendor-neutral, scalable, geo-specialized platform goes further.

Decoding telecom consumer insights
