MPA at a glance

MPA software has been developed to quickly provide warnings and information via loudspeakers - anywhere and at any time:

Content created and managed on the desktop with MPA-CMS is distributed to a defined network of participants within seconds.

With the MPA app on your mobile phone, this content can be transmitted to loudspeaker systems via Bluetooth.

Administration on the desktop

With MPA-CMS on the desktop, the control center creates and manages topic-specific content even in "peacetime". Loudspeaker announcements can be created in one or more languages. A translation module with 40 languages and more than 100 voices has been integrated since February 2024.

Folders and their contents, such as announcements and sounds, can also be shared with other organizations participating in the MPA system.

MPA-CMS is a web application for the desktop. It can be accessed via internet browser, without installation and from any location. Use MPA-CMS at PC, notebook, tablet and mobile phone.

Playback via app

In the field, the MPA app on the mobile phone now takes over. The content synchronized with the MPA-CMS is now broadcast via Bluetooth® to siren-speakers in emergency vehicles*, or also to portable or stationary speakers.

With an active internet connection the content is live-updated all the time. Even if the whole mobile phone network fails, the existing audio library is available, still to broadcast content to the speakers. The system is 'blackout-safe'.

For needs on spontaneous speech content the MPA-App turns the mobile phone into a wireless microphone. The functions live-speech, record and play help to assert oneself acoustically also in rapidly changing operational situations.

* via EUROSIGNAL Bluetooth®-receiver or indirect via Bluetooth®-connection of your vehicle. For older vehicle models, cable plug connections may also be an alternative.

Frequently asked questions

What does MPA mean and what does the system involve?

MPA stands for the "Mobile Public Address" and consists of two components: One is the web app CMS (Content Management System), which can be operated via any Internet browser, and the second is the cell phone app, available both for iOS and Android in the respective app stores.

Why do we still need loudspeaker announcements in the age of cell phones and social media?

MPA was not developed for normal everyday use, but for loudspeaker announcements required in scenarios such as civil protection and disaster relief, for emergency public address requirements at major events (sporting events, music festivals, etc.) and for many other purposes. These are therefore valuable and important applications in the field of emergency organizations, but also for civilian areas.

MPA's concept is based on an uninterrupted mobile internet connection. Can the system still function if there's no connection?

With MPA-CMS, an entire audio library with topic-specific content of announcements is created in "peacetime" and distributed to the defined subscriber network of MPA app cell phone users within seconds. When the mobile Internet is up and running, there are constant live updates. All content remains available on the cell phones even if the mobile internet fails and can still be transmitted to the loudspeaker systems via Bluetooth. MPA is therefore also blackout-proof.

Many emergency vehicles have loudspeakers and microphones installed anyway, so why do they need the MPA app from Eurosignal?

Only with MPA can topic-specific, pre-prepared announcements be broadcast loudly, clearly and comprehensibly via the driver's cell phone using loudspeakers. This is even possible in several languages if required. This frees up the otherwise necessary co-driver and microphone operator for other important activities.

On which loudspeakers does MPA work?
  • MPA works on installed siren loudspeakers *) of emergency vehicles
  • on EUSIG mobile warning systems from EUROSIGNAL in the COMPLETE+BT and KATWARN COMPLETE+BT versions
  • on portable or stationary loudspeaker systems with Bluetooth function. Today, Bluetooth is usually standard here and MPA can be used directly.

*) Siren loudspeakers themselves rarely have an integrated Bluetooth function. However, if a Bluetooth receiver or a Bluetooth car radio can already be connected to the siren amplifier, MPA can be used immediately. In principle, the additional work required when upgrading a new vehicle, or even for retrofitting, is extremely low. A usable Bluetooth receiver costs from only around € 40.

Older car radio models without Bluetooth can often also be connected to the cell phone via a cable. Even the cost of replacing the existing car radio with a new one with Bluetooth function is not worth mentioning at around € 50.

Why are loudspeaker announcements an important topic, especially during a blackout?

One reason for the failure of mobile communications and/or mobile internet can be a failure of the power grid. If this outage is of longer duration and extends over a larger area, it is referred to as a blackout. After such an outage occurs, loudspeaker announcements (via fire department vehicles, police vehicles, etc.) are an important way for the local authority to inform the population about the cause, duration or measures taken, for example.

Apart from Blackout, what other use cases is MPA intended for?
  • Flood risk
  • Avalanche danger
  • Danger of forest fires
  • Pollutant leakage due to technical failure in a chemical plant, transportation accident, etc.
  • Police instructions for demonstrations, pandemic, etc.
  • Indoor and outdoor emergency sound system in the event of a power failure in the smaller event area
  • Indoor and outdoor emergency sound system in the event of a power failure at major events
