T*MAS Target Area

T*MAS is capable of hitting 99% of mobile phones in the alert area.

This is first and foremost. It should definitely work with any handset in the network from the "smartest" to the most basic pre-paid model. T*MAS is capable of hitting in-country roamers as well as international visitors. The T*MAS system hits everyone in the targeted area regardless of where their home service is provided from.

A system that is dependent upon a certain version of handset, the latest technology, or where their home service is provided from would be extremely discriminatory on who can actually receive alerts. You don't want a system that hits some phones and not others. The public will become outraged that some people's lives were saved because they were notified and others were not.

The T*MAS system is geo-graphically targetable, from a rural village, to a beach resort, to a metropolitan city. Alerts need to be delivered to those individuals in the affected area. If you're sending alerts to people who don't need them, you run the risk of the public becoming de-sensitized to their importance.

 

T*MAS Location Based Alerts

The T*MAS system is location based.

Systems that utilize the consumers' postal codes or other subscriber information end up sending alerts to people outside of the target area and missing the people who need the alert the most.

T*MAS is capable of continuing to alert new mobile phones that come into the target area without re-alerting the initial recipients. Sometimes alerting events can be a lasting exercise, such as a chemical spill or a traffic accident. The T*MAS systems not only alerts everyone in the target area at the time the alert is initiated, but the operator can choose a time frame for which the system will continue to alert those who travel into the danger zone. We call this persistent alerting.

 

Also, it is possible to setup Public number or any number that will   appear in the registered handset in the field “From”. It is supported   international and alphabetical Public number coding.
