Cell Broadcast-Based Public

Warning Systems – An
Effective Solution for
Emergency Alerts

1 Vote

BELLEVUE, Wash. – July 24, 2018 – Cell broadcast-based Public Warning

Systems (PWS) is currently the most effective technical solution for large group
emergency notifications above other alerting methods in the Americas according
to a new report from 5G Americas, the industry trade association and voice of 5G
and LTE for the Americas. 5G Americas announced their publication of Public
Warning Systems in the Americas whitepaper that elaborates on the benefits of
cell broadcast-based Public Warning Systems that have been specified by the
Third Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) and standardized by multiple
Standards Development Organizations throughout Europe, Asia, and the
Americas.

The paper by 5G Americas confirms that it is more beneficial for the general
public to use cell broadcast-based PWS as opposed to point-to-point alerting
methods such as Short Message Service (SMS) and Over-the-Top (OTT)
applications to provide wireless emergency alerts. Cell broadcast-based
emergency alert communication has advantages over for point-to-point methods
including:
• There are typically no significant delivery delays when attempting to
deliver messages to a large number of recipients in a short period of
time due to the underlying broadcast technology
• There is no cell broadcast subscription required for receiving emergency
alerts via cell broadcast technology
• Messages are broadcast to all devices within a specific alert area, so if a
user roams into a cell site in an alert area, the user will receive the alert
• Smartphone subscribers do not require a data services subscription with
their wireless operator in order for their device to receive an emergency
alert via cell broadcast

Chris Pearson, President, 5G Americas commented, “Successful emergency

warning communications systems are essential in today’s society when the impact
of monumental disasters can be lessened by proper advance notification to
people. Several countries in the Americas region have deployed and are actively
working towards developing cell broadcast-based public warning systems, built
upon the industry-wide 3GPP standards, which offers the best technical option
for providing a safety net in the event of emergencies.”

Key challenges for SMS and OTT smartphone applications in providing

emergency alerts include: possible delivery delays when attempting to provide
messages to a large number of recipients in a short period of time; alerts are
addressed to phone numbers in a chosen cell site area rather than users in the cell
site alert area meaning not all users will receive alerts; SMS could possibly be
spoofed by hackers; smartphone users must have a data service subscriptions to
receive alert notifications via the cellular network on smartphone apps. Cell
broadcast-based systems are effective in most all the challenged areas for SMS
and OTT apps meaning any user in the geo-targeted area will typically be able to
receive the alert.

“There is a tremendous benefit for countries to deploy the cell broadcast-based

warning system so that any user can roam to any country and be able to receive
wireless emergency alerts in a time-sensitive manner,” noted Jose Otero, Director
of Latin America and the Caribbean, 5G Americas and also the author of this
paper. “There remain some challenges to overcome in order to promote seamless
international roaming such as the use of different applications in countries,
different languages, and even the use of different ringtones, alert banners and
character sets.”

The goal of the 5G Americas whitepaper is to inform and educate vendors,

operators and regulatory authorities of the benefits associated with the cell
broadcast-based system, explain and compare PWS and other alert systems in the
Americas and describe the international roaming support for PWS. The paper will
provide an understanding of varied emergency alert systems currently in use
throughout the Americas, including details on emergency alert systems in many
countries in the Caribbean and Latin America as well as Canada and the U.S.

Public Warning Systems in the Americas was written by a working group at 5G

Americas under the leadership of Orlett Pearson of Nokia and Peter Musgrove of
AT&T as well as representatives from member companies of 5G Americas who
participated in the development of this whitepaper. Public Warning Systems in
the Americas is available for free download on the 5G Americas website.
