There are still many remote places on earth where there is no cellular network , i mean no wireless connection over internet or any sort of signals . People always have to rely on others but there is no self knowledge without internet . Thinking of that an group of IBM developers has worked together to make a app which will work wirelessly and moreover will work for peoples Safety .
This App Sends Emergency Alerts Without A Cell Network
Security alerts that refers to climatic condition changes , alerts before some climatic danger whether its an earthquake or Tsunami .people living in Remote areas find it difficult to get the latest news and all sorts of knowledge . In todays world we cant even imagine ourselves without internet not just that its because its an ultimate way to get entertained but also we get ourself updated whats happening around us .
People who live in remote areas with no signal /cellular network can get themselves updated with everydays news and happenings unless they get informed from somewhere else . we this app would be a favourable app to them as they can get themselves updated with everyday news and also during natural calamities which can save their life during emergency situations .

But how does everything work? Basically, the application uses the radio sensors on Android to send alerts to other devices, even though they are no signal, as there are other ways to receive data without necessarily being on the mobile connection.
One of the devices must be connected to the network to receive the main alert. Then it spreads the information to other devices as if it were peer-to-peer (only without the internet). As the range is a few tens of meters away, these alerts are ideal for large centers, where not everyone can have the internet, but there are many devices that are close to each other. However, isolated areas, unfortunately, would not benefit much.
According to IBM, they preferred to use the smartphone – device that is in everyone’s pocket – to test new technologies like drones and balloons to expand access to the mobile network. Already available in India, these alerts are expected to arrive “soon” in other countries as well, such as Angola, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Nigeria, Peru, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, and Venezuela.
