Genasys Partners in European Union-Funded Project to Revolutionize Public Warning
March 26 2024 - 7:00AM
Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in protective
communications systems and solutions, today announced that it is a
partner in Project AWARE, a project funded under the European
Union’s Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101082555)
that goes beyond smartphone-based alerting by developing a solution
that will extend the reception and processing of Galileo Emergency
Warning Satellite Service (EWSS) public safety warnings into
display panels, indoor warning systems, and acoustic devices.
In the next few years, the European Commission will launch the
Galileo EWSS, which will utilize a constellation of medium earth
orbit satellites to alert people in the event of natural or
man-made hazards. The Project AWARE solution will be integrated in
fixed devices, including display panels, speakers, long-range
acoustic devices (Genasys Protect ACOUSTICS) and other connected
devices which can alert citizens via audio, video, and text alert
messages even when telecommunications networks are disrupted or
down.
Genasys CEO Richard Danforth said, “By making ACOUSTICS
EWSS-capable, civil protection authorities can ensure public safety
alerts reach individuals who may not have access to their mobile
devices or during telecommunications service disruptions. Genasys’
experience in innovating satellite-connected speaker systems that
broadcast audible voice messages with exceptional clarity qualified
us to partner in this consortium. Genasys Protect ALERT will be
used to conduct an end-to-end Project AWARE demonstration with the
Republic of Slovenia Administration for Civil Protection and
Disaster Relief, a customer and consortium member. With the
frequency and scope of disasters ever increasing, Genasys’
participation in Project AWARE and our extensive experience in
designing and building software and hardware emergency warning
solutions, perfectly position us to support the growing need of
regional and national governments to enhance access to Public
Warning Systems (PWS).”
Project AWARE brings together eight partners from four countries
with the necessary knowledge, expertise, and technical capacity to
extend the capabilities of Galileo EWSS. Telespazio France and the
European Emergency Number Association (EENA) have experience in the
design and deployment of public safety services, FDC is a secure
Global Navigation Satellite System solutions provider, and Centre
National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), the French space agency,
is the future operator of the Galileo EWSS service center. JCDecaux
and Genasys are PWS equipment providers and solution integrators.
The Republic of Slovenia Administration for Civil Protection and
Disaster Relief will host one of the demonstrations planned at the
end of the project. Last but not least, the University of
Strasbourg will study and demonstrate synergies between the Galileo
EWSS and the Copernicus Emergency Management Service.
