Tsunami Alarm System
over Mobile Phones Realised
First Global
Tsunami Alarm System – Made in Germany
Tübingen/Germany, June 21,
2006. Holidaymakers can now relax and securely go on their well-earned beach
holidays. Business travellers can now securely travel to coastal business
capitals. Residents of coastal areas need no longer fear for their health or
their lives. In future, travellers will be warned in time of catastrophes like
the tsunami, that occurred more then a year ago in Asia, with the world-wide
unique tsunami alarm system for everyone. In every reachable place in the
world, people can receive a message on their mobile phone in case there is a
threat to their lives in places where they are. They only have to register
their mobile phone with the Tsunami Alarm System and in the event of an alarm
it will send a message that cannot be ignored. “Particulary we are here to find
trade partners for the tsunami alarm system. We bring an attractive business
opportunity for merchants in coastal areas to Asia/Pacific”, says Prof. Dr.
Wolfram Reiners.
Tsunamis
are caused by the sudden displacement of huge bodies of water. Most tsunamis
are the result of earthquakes or seaquakes, or are set off after submarine
landslides. The term "tsunami" is Japanese and means "big wave
in the harbour". Tsunamis can travel at speeds up to 1000 km/h, or close
to 17 kilometres a minute.
People are not only
in danger in far away countries, but also on European coasts. While children
are building sandcastles on the Mediterranean and their parents are basking in
the sun, no one thinks of a lethal flood wave. Yet, in the Mediterranean and
the Atlantic Ocean, tsunamis are not as rare as many people believe: About 10
per cent of all tsunamis happen in these regions.
Measuring stations
all around the world operate day and night to be able to warn quickly and
reliably of tsunamis: Seismic sensors measure the earth tremors. Pressure and
velocity sensors in the oceans detect fast changes of water bodies in the sea.
Advance warning systems check first alarm signals. With the Tsunami alarm
system, users can visit popular holiday destinations at the seaside now without
having to worry about their safety or life and health of family and children
travelling with them. Subscribers to the Tsunami Alarm System receive a warning
on their mobile phones, promptly and virtually anywhere in the world. Users can
be sure that the Tsunami Alarm System does not overlook any warning messages
and that a warning will set off an alarm on his mobile phone as soon as
possible.
Despite the complex
technologies behind the alarm system, it is very easy to use for subscribers.
Coastal residents, tourists, business travellers, employees of companies
working in coastal regions, for example tour guides, can subscribe to the
Tsunami alarm system by simply entering the number of their mobile phone on the
web site, thus quickly enabling the alarm system on their phone. Nothing has to
be installed or downloaded. As the system is so easy to use, some international
companies are already interested in providing their employees with the Tsunami
alarm system to offer them additional security for their stay in coastal
regions.
The Tsunami alarm
system works wherever the user can connect to a GSM mobile phone network, even
in developing countries and in remote areas. The tsunami alarm system uses
“Flash SMS” messaging which “pushes” the message onto the front screen of the
phone even if it is being used.
The Tsunami alarm
system was invented and developed by the German scientists Professor Dr. Eduard
Heindl, Heindl Internet AG in Tübingen/Germany and Professor Dr. Wolfram
Reiners, 3M Future Ltd, Konstanz/Germany. Both are constantly surveying the
quality of the system and are developing it further through their research to
the benefit of subscribers. While the research results have been filed for
patent protection in Germany, further patents are in preparation.
An international
combination of companies from Germany, South Africa and the Caribbean was
formed to be able to offer the high-tech rescue system to the market. Heindl
Internet AG has more than ten years of experience in the field of internet
technology. 3Mfuture Ltd. is responsible for technological research and
research for the alarm logic, the management of a network of sales partners,
the co-ordination of the market strategy of the joint venture and deals with
payment security. The company is based in Charlestown, Nevis in the Caribbean
and has a branch office in Konstanz/Germany. A3M Inc. Victoria, Seychelles is
responsible for research into the effective distribution of the alarms.
Customers can
subscribe to the tsunami alarm system on the web site
www.tsunami-alarm-system.com. The one-year subscription costs only 29,95 Euro.
There is also a monthly subscription for holidaymakers available for the price
of 9.95 Euro.
About the Tsunami alarm
system:
The idea of a tsunami alarm
system arose in December 2004 in the aftermath of the devastating destruction
of the Tsunami catastrophe in the Indian Ocean. The German professor Eduard
Heindl and professor Wolfram Reiners wanted to use modern information
technology to be able to warn people in time in case of similar occurrences,
thus being able to better protect human life in the future. To achieve this,
many systems must work together. The technical details of the Tsunami alarm
system are filed for patent protection at the German patent office. Tsunami
Alarm System is a joint venture between 3MFuture Ltd., Heindl Internet AG and
A3M Inc., under the presidency of Wolfram Reiners und Eduard Heindl
