Cell broadcast is an important technology for early warning and emergency alerting in critical situations, especially when time is of the essence, even when operators' mobile networks are heavily utilised. The alert text message can be issued to millions of mobile devices in a defined area, using a specific display and a particular ringtone to be recognized instantly as an alert.
