Global Security Systems announced at the NAB Show in Las Vegas that the NextRadio app team will review ways to interconnect with GSS’s ALERT FM emergency notification system to provide users with federal, state, and/or local information during the event of a man-made or natural disaster. This new feature is scheduled to be available to NextRadio users later this year.
ALERT FM provides federal, state, and/ or local emergency information to citizens using the Radio Data System (“RDS”) of local FM radio stations. Citizens can receive this information on ALERT FM receivers or any device including cellphones equipped with an FM-chip and the proper software. ALERT FM has the capability to keep users informed even when the power is out or cellular service is down.
