Cell Broadcast
|
|
|
Cell Broadcast (CB) is designed for simultaneous delivery
of messages to multiple users in a specific area. Where as the short
message service “SMS” is a one-to-one service, Cell Broadcast is a
one-to-many geographically focused cellular based system that instantly
broadcasts voice, data, or multimedia content to a large number of
people. The broadcast range can be varied from a small area to the
entire network. Broadcast relays the message indiscriminately to every
phone without having to identify and locate individual phone numbers.
