With the recent massacre at Virginia Tech, many in the media are asking the question,
"why was there no mass notification or shut-down of the campus after 2 hours"?
Here's just one mobile SMS solution that could be used in emergency situations.
OmniAlert specializes in mass communications for sending time-sensitive information
to large groups of people.
Mass Communication defined - A selective mass communication system is defined
as a platform to deliver a message to an entire audience by all means necessary
with one click of a button
How it Works:
Omnilert Network enables clients to send urgent messages to multiple devices
of subscribers within an entire community or groups of the community to communicate
important information. The web-based service requires no additional hardware or
software, is extremely easy-to-use, and is completely self-administered by each
client and their subscribers.
The service can instantly and simultaneously send alerts to a subscriber's:
- Mobile phone (via SMS text message)
- Traditional wired phone
- Satellite phone
- Blackberry
- Smart phone
- Wireless PDA
- Pager
- E-mail account
- Web page (via our Bulletin Board feature)
- Personal portals (MyYahoo, Google or AOL page)
- RSS Readers
Omnilert Applications:
Omnilert is ideal for organizations responsible for the well being of citizens,
employees, students, athletes, volunteers, partners, first responders and others.
It's difficult to question weather such a solution could have prevented the recent
tragedy at Virginia Tech University, however, given the level of pentration of
cell phone usage such a solution does indeed need to be considered in the future.
