Based in the Washington, DC metro area, AlertNow™ is revolutionizing how emergency communications are delivered throughout the United States.
Using SpectraRep's datacasting technology, AlertNow turns TV stations into emergency alert networks that warn communities about incoming disasters. When earthquakes strike, wildfires spread, or hurricanes approach, our network delivers targeted alerts to specific neighborhoods that need them most.
Through patented technology and strategic partnerships with public and commercial television stations and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), we're addressing critical communication challenges in today's interconnected world.
With four U.S. Utility Patents and a network of 130 ATSC 1.0 stations, 6 ATSC 3.0 stations, and 120 translators, AlertNow reaches over 220 million Americans—a number that continues to grow.
The AlertNow network uses NextGen (ATSC 3.0) and current (ATSC 1.0) broadcast standards. It addresses the challenge of relying on cell towers for public alerts during emergencies, where overload can lead to congestion and failures, especially in rural areas with limited coverage.
