3. Snapshot of FM Broadcast-Based Alerts
FM broadcast benefits listeners, especially in times of crisis. Unlike text-based alert system deployed by the wireless industry, broadcast radio can work even when cell networks go down or become heavily congested.
Multiple Delivery paths:
Traditional EAS Audio
Text alerts Using Radio Data System
HD Radio Emergency Alerts
NextRadio has integrated Alert FM web services to actively receive and process EAS and NWS alerts on an ongoing basis for display on wireless device.
