Genasys Inc. Launches Next Generation National Emergency Warning System Service in Australia
September 16 2021 - 8:00AM
Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in critical
communications systems and solutions, today announced its next
generation National Emergency Warning Systems (NEWS) software is
now delivering early warning system emergency alerts throughout
Australia. The launch marks the 'Go Live' of the near real-time
alert system under the Company's previously announced multi-year
contracts with two of the country's three largest mobile telecom
providers.
"Genasys is the only location-based SMS provider
that delivers life-saving alerts in near real time during critical
events," said Richard S. Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of
Genasys. "Other location-based SMS alert providers take up to 15
minutes to locate the cell phones of people in hazardous areas.
With no opt in or app download required for customers of the mobile
network operators, NEWS helps keep residents and visitors safe
during disasters and other crises.
"Next generation NEWS software enhancements
include a significant increase in performance, more robust
technology, integration with the new Emergency Alert System front
end platform, and advanced system architecture to support future
requirements, including 5G," continued Mr. Danforth. "The launch
continues the innovative work we first began in 2012 when Genasys
partnered with Nokia to develop the world's first location-based
SMS Emergency Alert System for Australia.
Mr. Danforth added, “NEWS has delivered more
than 180,000,000 emergency alerts in Australia since 2013
demonstrating that Genasys is well-positioned to compete, win and
perform other public warning system contracts in the European Union
and around the world."
Genasys NEWS can be deployed directly on mobile
carrier networks across SMS and Cell Broadcast channels to send
alerts and information to anyone, anywhere. Messages can be
delivered and managed through the Genasys web command console or
mobile app. Dynamic maps, traffic information, weather forecasts,
and sensors for fires, flooding, landslides, earthquakes and other
IoT capabilities can be integrated into the app command console.
The powerful geo-location capabilities of NEWS empower emergency
management officials to send hyper-specific instructions to people
at risk and monitor shelter-in-place compliance and evacuation
progress. For more information, go to: Genasys NEWS.
