Mobile Broadcast Message Center can text all cell users in a given geo-location
With two thirds of the world population now carrying a mobile phone, we are in the position for the first time to enable a new form of broadcasting. Alcatel-Lucent has announced a new Broadcast Message Center (BMC) which enables targeted government text alerts to be sent to mobile users based on their location – from a small local area to nationwide. The flexibility and scalability of the BMC will save lives in the event of a gas leak, chemical spillage or natural disaster, as it leverages cell broadcast technology to bypass the network congestion that invariably hampers emergencies. The BMC will also be deployed as a commercial broadcast solution, enabling enterprises to communicate with a mobile workforce, or service providers to offer opt-in subscriber services that generate new sources of revenue.
It’s an amazing new world that we are seeing unfold as mobile handsets head towards ubiquity and every person becomes a node on the global wirless network, and one of the biggest immediate opportunities is to be able to notify millions of mobile users within seconds when there is a national, state or local emergency.
Alcatel-Lucent’s BMC extends emergency alerting to mobile users within a geographic area as large as a nation or as small as a few city blocks. Hence, the platform ensures critical warnings and information reach the right people at the right time.
Trials have already been held and the BMC will allow mobile carriers to comply with emergency alerting standards in both the United States and Europe, enabling them to rapidly disseminate warnings and safety information to citizens in an emergency.
Acting as secure interface between an emergency management agency and the service provider’s network, the Broadcast Message Center receives emergency alerts and broadcasts them to cell sites serving mobile customers in a specific geographic area.
For instance, targeted text alerts can be sent to:
The flexibility and scalability of the Broadcast Message Center enables service providers to use it beyond emergency alerting for commercial broadcast services. It provides advertisers and interest groups alternative targeted marketing channels, offers enterprises and municipalities an effective means to communicate with their mobile workforce, while also helping service providers offer opt-in subscriber services that generate new sources of revenue.

- Students, faculty and parents to inform them of a school or campus emergency
- Consumers and office workers at an airport, shopping mall or business complex to evacuate the location due to a gas leak or suspicious package
- Citizens informing them of an Amber Alert
- Commuters to avoid a chemical spill, highway accident or road closure

More open. Run the applications your business needs on the platforms you choose.
Today's IT infrastructures are multi-vendor and multi-platform. When you select software for your datacenter, you must consider how well it will operate in that heterogeneous environment. Created with a truly open process, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is an open platform that gives you flexibility, choice, and access to a broad range of innovations to help you control your costs and your future.A subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides access to any currently-supported version that covers your deployment, whether directly on a server, as a virtualization host, as a guest on the major hypervisors, or in clouds.

More comprehensive. Standardize on the platform that covers it all.
Virtualization is a native feature of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, allowing your applications to have a consistent environment across physical, virtual, and cloud environments. All the work that you do to set up your applications – configuration, creating security policies, defining policy-driven resource allocation, ensuring regulatory compliance, and optimizing performance through system tuning and application diagnostics – is transportable across all of your deployments. And because Red Hat Enterprise Linux itself is independent of and portable across networks, hardware, and hypervisors – including Hyper-V and VMware – your operations are consistent and efficient wherever you choose to run them.Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides support for your new and existing applications, the latest middleware products, modern cloud software architectures, and new runtime frameworks. But Red Hat provides much more than just a universal interface for applications. Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers a pervasive foundational environment for developing datacenter policies, procedures, and services. From identity management and governance, to a responsive, flexible, and complete Web applications stack, to effective management of scores of servers and massive storage, Red Hat Enterprise Linux should be a critical part of your datacenter infrastructure.
