YellowBird ALERT | LX Innovations
An emergency alert system that warns of natural disasters via the use of AM and FM radio transmissions. It can be configured via a GPS chip, which enables region-specific messages to be transmitted. It logs onto a registered radio station and sits dormant until an alert is received. In the event of an emergency, authorities may choose to send an alert by creating a message and alert tone packaging, which sends out an immediate radio broadcast. But if it loses contact with the radio station, it will scan for alternative stations and will alert users if it cannot self heal. The YellowBird receives this alert, switches on and toggles between alert mode and radio mode until either the user acknowledges the alert, or no signal is received for five minutes and it returns to its dormant state.
