Overview
- AlertAR will send georeferenced, real‑time warnings to mobile phones via Cell Broadcast across 2G–5G without apps, subscriptions or mobile data.
- The Ministry of Security will operate the system in coordination with ENACOM, the Innovation Secretariat and mobile carriers, which must adapt their networks.
- ENACOM’s Resolution 1387/2025 allocates about 12,000 million pesos, with supplier budgets already received and contracting not yet finalized; the tender allows a 20% cushion over the highest quote to prevent failure.
- The deployment plan calls for public tenders, infrastructure upgrades and a 60‑day testing phase before phased rollout and integration with provincial and municipal agencies.
- Use cases include natural disasters, extreme weather, public‑risk events and urgent searches; officials said alerts appear in the foreground even on locked phones and, in some cases, may trigger with the device off.
