The 2020 IBAs received entries from organizations in 63 nations and territories. With over 3,800 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry, competition was fierce and GeoSafe, once again, stood out, as we can read from the judges: “Very valuable service for public officials. Every second saved is valuable and Intersec is helping the public sector with a much-needed solution.” “By June 2022, the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) Article 110 requires all EU countries to operate a public warning system that can send geo-targeted emergency alerts to all mobile phone users located in the affected area during a natural or man-made disaster. GeoSafe is a great product that combines both Cell Broadcast and Location-Based SMS as a public warning system. SMS bases warning system is especially helpful where a small population and no natural disaster is involved as it allows 2-way communication. CB is like a ‘digital siren’, the fastest and most reliable way to send a message during a rapid onset emergency. GeoSafe fulfills requirements under EECC Article 110.” “Intersec's Geosafe Public Warning System is an effective way for governments to broadcast messages based on the location of the people. It's definitely one of the solutions for the EU's requirement for PWS.” Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 250 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from July through early September.
