Celltick, one of the world’s largest cell broadcast-based products provider and a global leader of Public Warning systems (PWS), announced it has been selected by Taiwan Mobile, one of the largest mobile operators in Taiwan, to expand its MAGEN CBC (Mass Alert Geo Emergency Notifications Cell Broadcast Center) to support its SA 5G network.
The MAGEN CBC is used by the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) to alert citizens in time critical emergencies e.g. typhoons, floods, earthquakes and major fires.
Taiwan Mobile deployed Celltick’s CBC in 2015 together with two other mobile operators in the country – Taiwan Star and Asia Pacific Telecom (APT). As a global forerunner in digital communication, Taiwan Mobile launched its 5G services in July 2020.
Sticking to its commitment of improving people’s lives with technology, it is now among the first mobile operators worldwide to implement cell broadcast over its SA 5G network.
Tom Koh, CTO of Taiwan Mobile, said: “We are pleased to launch this much anticipated 5G CBC project with Celltick. Taiwan Mobile will continue advancing its 5G and technologies to empower users to open their world to more possibilities.”
