Recently, a record-breaking heatwave strained California's power grid. The demand for air-conditioning was soaring and put the state at risk for rotating power outages with energy supplies so thinly stretched. The infographic below illustrates how the use of Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) helped California avert widespread rolling blackouts. Comtech Trusted Alerting System is a fully integrated end-to-end WEA solution used by mobile network operators, authorities, and alert originators that enables authorized officials to inform the public about life-threatening events by automatically delivering emergency alerts to mobile devices (including roaming users) via the government alert gateway.  Contact us today to learn how Comtech Trusted Alerting System can work for you.
