Government tests emergency system/ Millions of Britons receive alert message on

All people in the UK with 4G or 5G access on their mobile devices received a worrying alert on Sunday afternoon.

The UK government planned for the test of the alert system to begin at 3pm on September 7. The system uses cellular broadcasting technology to access millions of devices on 4G and 5G networks from local mobile phone towers.

The alarm triggers a loud sound and vibration. It also includes a message telling recipients that this is a test, not a real emergency.

Everbridge, a global software company specializing in critical event management technology, developed the platform for the system, which works in partnership with local UK service providers EE, O2, Three and Vodafone to broadcast the alert, according to Government Transformation Magazine.

Everbridge's public warning system uses existing telecommunications infrastructure without the need for attendance to reach members of the public within a geographic area to alert them to an emergency situation.

Everbridge has won numerous contracts from the UK government over the past decade to run a range of public address systems for emergencies. The software company also serves major US cities, investment banks and international governments./ CNA
