Well, for reliable working, I think it would be best to use multiple
channels. SMS, cloud and local network(wireless or LAN), one of these
when the others are not available.

Internet access, cell phone coverage not guaranteed.
Wifi is available on a large private LAN.
Users may have phones or more likely, tablets.
A group of users are assigned a known key.
User can periodically send their location to one or all members of the
group.
If this were a place with phone coverage, I believe I would pick SMS
and send a broadcast intent.
The location plus other status information will probably fit in 140
characters or less.
What messaging would you use in this situation? I haven't really done
much message related programming with Android, and I thought I would
check here first, since someone has probably solved this already.
Thanks.
