Cell Broadcast System
Factsheet
Cell Info Service
The Cell Info Service (CIS) is a front-end
system for the Cell Broadcast Centre
(CBC). CIS allows the operator to have
SMS-CB messages managed
automatically, based on cell-specific
information the operator has provided. CIS
is designed to run in a batch process.
The CIS tool is a command line tool and
runs on a UNIX or Linux system where the
CBC is installed. It uses configuration files
with configuration data and message
information. In order to migrate the
operator’s current cell based solution, the
message configuration file can also be
easily generated by external tools, created
on consultancy basis.
The CIS tool reads the files and generates
a list of messages that need to be defined,

changed or killed. The CBC sends these
messages to the network where the cell info
is broadcasted in each corresponding cell.
(Example: local area codes on channel 50).
As of R1.8.1, the CIS tool allows combining
cells that should be broadcasting identical
content into lists of cells, making it possible
to address the whole network within a very
short timeframe. With this release it is also
possible to specify the start time, stop time
or duration of messages.
The Cell Information Services gives the
customer the possibility to configure and
manage Cell messages in an easy way: just
adapt the configuration file and start the
service. The service can be integrated in
the import and activate process.
