Cell Broadcast System

Clouds

one2many’s Cell Broadcast System (CBS) offers a non-intrusive, real-time service of distributing text messages to mobile handsets, specific to their current location. Where SMS is a service of individual messages, Cell Broadcast is capable of broadcasting one single message to reach all mobile handsets in an area as small as one radio cell and as big as an entire country. Only handsets that have Cell Broadcast channels activated will receive these messages. It is fast and in real-time! Sending a message to millions of handsets takes a matter of seconds. This is particularly important for emergency alert services. The ability to broadcast in a specific area makes it possible to provide handset users with (advertising) information relevant to their location.

The system is available in a single node Smart configuration and in a fully geographically redundant dual-node Power configuration. The Power system is capable of broadcasting messages in networks of up to 500,000 cells. Messages can be entered from remote locations by network operators and service providers.

one2many’s Cell Broadcast System supports virtually all GSM and UMTS networks. Cell Broadcast support is standardized by 3GPP and is available in today’s networks and handsets.
