Work Group Key Draft Conclusions • If a CMSP (Commercial Mobile Service Provider) elects to transmit, text alert is the minimum capability that must be supported by an operator. • Point-to-point or unicast delivery technologies (i.e. SMS point-to-point, MMS) are not feasible or practical for wireless alerts. • The minimum precision for geo-targeted geography for CMA (Commercial Mobile Alert) will be the county. • Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is recommended for the interface between alert generators/aggregator and the alert gateway. • Require capability to authenticate and validate CMA before CMSP alert transmission.
