Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) from Comtech Location Technologies

We offer a fully integrated end-to-end WEA/CMAS solution trusted by alert originators, authorities, and Mobile Network Operators.

Wireless Emergency Alerts, or WEA (also known as Commercial Mobile Alerts System (CMAS) in the US), is a government-mandated system 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.

Our patented technology facilitates the origination and accurate delivery of geo-targeted emergency alerts, empowering emergency services providers to better serve the public. Mobile Network Operators are able to quickly broadcast emergency alerts to all devices in a specific geographical area. Our solution uses standardized infrastructure, ensuring compliance with government regulations.
