Argentina Launches AlertAR, a Nationwide Cell-Broadcast Emergency Warning System

Operations now move to a public tender and a 60‑day trial before the Security Ministry begins issuing alerts.

Overview

  • ENACOM formalized AlertAR through Resolution 1387/2025 published in the Boletín Oficial, moving the project into execution.
  • ARS 12,000 million from the Universal Service Fund will finance active and passive infrastructure, with support covered for the first 36 months.
  • Cell Broadcast will deliver geolocated warnings to all mobile phones in defined areas without apps or registration, with prominent on-screen notices and sound or vibration.
  • The Security Ministry is designated to activate alerts, with formal cooperation agreements to be signed with public bodies and mobile network operators.
  • A public tender will select suppliers for installation, followed by a 60‑day operational test to validate integration and readiness for nationwide rollout.
