TynTec has announced a deal with global healthcare and crisis IT specialist Regpoint to provide high volume SMS delivery for use in emergency situations.  The agreement will see Regpoint using TynTec's custom-built messaging technology to send large numbers of SMS to quickly alert people of tsunamis, terrorist attacks, disease epidemics and other emergencies. Using TynTec's custom-built SMSC and deep level (SS7) connection into the global telecoms network Regpoint can be assured of sending millions of 'Flash' SMS in short time frames, regardless of the recipient network operator.  Flash SMS are especially good for emergency situations because they appear directly on the recipients screen, as opposed to going into the inbox.  This means people signed up for the service, which includes government officials, emergency services and doctors, can receive timely warnings on impending disasters, allowing them to react as quickly as possible. Because of TynTec's unique access into the global mobile telecoms network the company can guarantee direct delivery of the flash SMS' to more than 340 networks worldwide within 15 seconds.  Therefore not only does TynTec allow Regpoint to issue a vast number of SMS, but also to ensure they are delivered to people roaming across different territories.
