In light of what has happened with the shooting, K-12 School corporations here in Indiana have been doing SMS Messages through my Coldfusion SMS Gateway running CF5 and CF6 for the past 6 years. My office was even recognized in a local newspaper when we had a similar situation as being the resource to get emergency notices out during a hostage situation and then a school fire when telephone lines became unavailable due to the disaster. Since these couple of situations most schools have added this type of communication to their disaster plans and perform routine drills which keeps everyone involved current so when this happens for real damage will be kept to a minimum.
What makes my gateway different is I have programmed a way for CF to communicate with the Cell Phone Providers via the Industry Standard which is the TAP Protocol and the Simple Network Paging Protocol. Allowing Coldfusion to communicate with the Cell Providers in this manner cuts out the SMSC and the Agregator services and still provides the timely delivering of the message to the end user.
