Campus Emergency? Know first with scalable SMS service

With this weeks tribulations clawing at our collective consciousness, count on our technology sector to help us out. Stepping up is First Mobile Alert, a practical service that can send out 25,000 SMS messages in under 5 minutes.

First Mobile Alerts system seems straight forward enough, its users choose to register their mobiles number with the company, then the powers that be can send alerts as needed. From relaxed messages about early dismissals to urgent warnings of danger, this service can give everyone information and do it rather quickly.

From their press release:

“With the ability to broadcast 25,000 messages in under five minutes, First Mobile Alert provides a safe and secure custom SMS early warning messaging system designed to provide the fastest communication in the industry.”

It looks like this company woke up to the idea of an “emergency broadcast system” recently, applying its talents in commercial SMS advertising. So as not to appear to be profiting off disasters or emergencies, the company is donating a percentage of its revenue to charitable relief organizations, which is nice.

A lot of what we in the tech sector do is about presenting information quickly; when life or death may rely on seconds, kudos for this team for bringing a product that can potentially help many.
