Description

Overview Global Security Systems is a systems integrator, service provider and manufacturer of the ALERT FM, an FM radio-based alert and messaging system, and My SimBook, a mobile social network for FM broadcasters. History In 1985, the future founders of Global Security Systems became involved with the technology called numeric MBS protocol, predecessor to Radio Data System (RDS) and Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS). The GSS founders played a very important role in lobbying to have RBDS become an approved and accepted standard in the United States. In 1993, the RBDS standard was introduced as a means of using the subcarrier to broadcast specific information that permits a receiver to tune stations. Since 1993, other accomplishments include: working for RDS and RBDS approval in the U.S., manufacturing the only RBDS FM data receiver in the U.S., installation and testing of the FM system in more than 20 foreign markets, installation of an 11-State system on the Pacific Coast of the U.S., and negotiating and signing of the world’s first exclusive arrangement between an equipment manufacturer and a wireless communications carrier. Today, ALERT FM and My Simbook incorporate RDS technology to send digital information using conventional FM radio infrastructure to a targeted audience. ALERT FM is a personal alert and messaging system that enables state and local government and private sector officials to create and send digital alerts and messages. Potential messages include tornado warnings, homeland security notices, hurricane evacuation instructions, utility notices, plant or school closings, employee notifications and traffic alerts. First responders, school officials and citizens can receive these alerts and messages based on geographic or organizational groupings through specially designed ALERT FM receivers or any device equipped with a standard FM chip. The reliability and redundancy of ALERT FM lies in its use of a pre-existing network of towers, which in turn provides overlapping coverage of an area. My Simbook is a mobile social network that enables broadcasters to interact with listeners by synchronizing their radio broadcasts and advertisements with mobile devices. The system allows broadcasters and local businesses to participate in a variety of mobile marketing such mobile coupons and mobile advertisements.
