The National Broadcasting and Telecom Commission (NBTC) and Advanced Information Service (AIS) have actually started a trial for the nation’s inaugural cell broadcast service (CBS) system, developed as an emergency situation alert system through smart phones.
Showcased at the NBTC head office, this system helps with the dissemination of catastrophe cautions straight to mobile phones within a defined location without counting on contact number like conventional SMS techniques. This makes sure fast and effective interaction of immediate details without demanding any app downloads by the public.
The intro of this standardized emergency situation alert system is planned to improve public security, improve financial self-confidence, and protect the wellness of society and travelers, specifically throughout occurrences of violence, shootings, and natural catastrophes. The system’s effective combination depends on the facility of a main command center by the federal government, together with the development of suitable policies for its operation.
Supported by the NBTC’s financing and collective efforts with different companies, the system’s facilities will be handled both by the federal government through the Cell Broadcast Entities (CBE) for material meaning and shipment locations and mobile operators through the Cell Broadcast Center (CBC) for real message broadcasting.
With the system’s trial accomplishing its objectives, strategies are underway to broaden its combination with Thailand’s emergency situation services. Mobile operators are expected to cover the setup expenses, balanced out by reductions from their yearly contributions to the NBTC. ( NNT)
