iPhone Empowered as Mobile Emergency Command Device;
IT Alerts, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, CRM and Other Important Enterprise Notifications can be Initiated and Managed with the Touch of a Screen
SAN DIEGO, CA -- [Emergency Notification News] -- November 6, 2007 – MIR3™, the technology leader in Intelligent Notification (IN®) solutions for global enterprises, today announced the availability of the first emergency notification and enterprise notification command interface for the Apple iPhone™ mobile communications platform. These full-featured Web-based management applications from MIR3 run under Apple’s mobile Safari™ browser to enable corporate executives and IT administrators to initiate emergency notifications and remotely manage enterprise notification systems and response teams using Apple iPhone device.
“Apple’s new generation mobile communicator is growing in popularity among corporate users because of their larger screen sizes, easier-to-use touch screen keyboards and anywhere network access,” said Amir Moussavian, CEO of MIR3. “With this new application, MIR3 has empowered the Apple iPhone as a remote emergency command device. MIR3 has a history of technology innovation and is committed to delivering support for all mobile devices, all mobile platforms and all modalities. We believe that as iPhone is adopted more widely and accepted as an enterprise communications device, corporate iPhone users will represent an important segment within the mobile-enabled enterprise notification and emergency response industry.”
MIR3’s iPhone interface also functions as an automated mobile command dashboard that allows executives to instantly notify and initiate live voice conferences among the appropriate response-team members, and access MIR3’s real-time reporting features to track notifications and responses on their iPhone.
“Disasters and emergencies are almost always unexpected, and there’s a high probability that many executives and first responders will not have access to their desktops when crucial decisions must be made and quick action steps taken,” Moussavian added. “Mobile devices may be the only functional option for decision makers during an emergency, and we believe that the iPhone, with its game-changing communication capabilities, will be a preferred crisis management and emergency communications tool for many of them.”
MIR3’s Web-based iPhone notification applications are 100% compliant with Apple’s current guidelines for iPhone software development using the mobile Safari browser.

TelAlert 6e is specifically designed as an enterprise messaging system that provides a fully integrated and assured communication channel by making use of existing corporate portals, databases and business applications. Built on top of the market-leading messaging engine, the TelAlert 6e SOA platform extends the service beyond IT and network management usage to include the global enterprise. To take advantage of the CAP offer, customers must commit to the upgrade by October 30, 2007. Customers may phone 1-510-903-4072 or email sales@telalert.com for CAP program details; or visit www.telalert.com/CAP.
“For the long term, customer relationships are unquestionably more important to us than an individual sale,” Moussavian said. “We’re determined to provide the best ongoing support to loyal TelAlert customers. The CAP offering signals our intention to be a vested partner in their success.”
