Global Security Systems ("GSS") and Sage Alerting Systems ("Sage") have developed a cost-effective, CAP (Common Alert Protocol) compliant EAS (Emergency Alert System) implementation plan for your State or locale to meet new FCC rules and regulations. We are presenting the Sage Digital ENDEC, GSS satellite delivery network and CAP origination tools as a complete end to end CAP origination, transport, and broadcast dissemination system. The products are designed and built for continuous broadcast operations using dedicated hardware and battle-tested software to reduce maintenance and downtime. These products can also be used with additional systems, such as DIMES/DM-OPEN (now called IPAWS OPEN) to provide for additional redundancy, wider dissemination, and more assured delivery.

Global Security Systems has deployed a nationwide satellite delivery system to distribute CAP- based emergency audio and text alerts to radio broadcast stations and emergency management operation centers. Currently, GSSNet delivers CAP based information to over 400 AM, FM and TV stations with the ability to originate and uplink CAP messages. GSS has participated in the development of standards for the radio industry for over 15 years.

Sage has been shipping CAP-ready units since 2008, with several locations already using CAP to originate EAS messages. Sage has participated in the development of the IPAWS profile and the CAP/EAS Implementation guide, and are active in several EAS and CAP committees.

Recently, Sage has teamed with GSS, a provider of Satellite delivered CAP alerts, to provide both an Internet and a one-way Satellite based end to end CAP system. The combination of GSS and Sage provides the technical and practical experience to help you deploy a state of the art, expandable, CAP delivery system for audio and text to meet the FCC rules and regulations.

The GSS and Sage strategy is to provide quality hardware, top notch support, design assistance, custom software when necessary, to users who need to take alerts the last mile from the source or transport systems into the broadcast sector.
