According to Minister of Digital Economy and Society( DES ) Prasert Chantararuangthong, the kingdom’s cell broadcast ( CB ) emergency warning system is anticipated to be prepared for deployment in six to one year.

Mr. Prasert stated that the NBTC will work with cellular phone service providers to build the CB notice system after speaking with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission about the system’s execution.

He estimated that it will get six to one month to develop and test the CB system.

Following the shooting in the Siam Paragon searching store on Tuesday, which left two people dead and five another injured, the plan to implement an efficient public reminder system was developed.

Because it enables evacuation warnings to be sent to all wireless networked devices in a particular target area, the use of Fullback technology is being suggested.

Teams from Advanced Info Service ( AIS ) and True Corporation tested emergency warnings sent via location-based service( LBS ) yesterday in Government House, but the LBS alert system took some time to process, according to Mr. Prasert.

The DES secretary added that Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin may choose which organization will oversee the proposed system and that he would consider the establishment of a federal warning center to alert the public to emergency situations.

The CB alert system will be presented to the NBTC table for review as soon as possible, according to Trairat Viriyasirikul, deputy secretary-general of the organization.

An SMS is sent to mobile devices in a site using the LBS program, according to Wasit Wattanasap, mind of AIS’s global operations and help business system.

According to Mr. Wasit, when the group AIS team receives a notice from the command center, the center determines the protection of body sites in the area and sends an Email notification to mobile devices in almost real-time.

When a mobile user accesses the alert, he or she is directed, according to the message, to information about the incident, such as hotlines and security advice.
