Pocket Siren Test – Everything Working as Expected!

Last week, we carried out a test of the Pocket Siren system to ensure everything functions correctly ahead of the main test scheduled for July. With all transmitters now installed on the towers, this intermediate test allowed us to verify that the system performs as it should.

The purpose of the test was to confirm:

  • that Pocket Sirens receive the signal on time,
  • how the coverage works across different areas,
  • and whether the entire system is ready for the upcoming full-scale test in July.

The results were positive – the Pocket Sirens responded as expected and communication was stable throughout. These interim tests help ensure that the system is reliable and ready when it matters most.

Everyone who received the test message on their phone is kindly invited to leave feedback on the Pocket Siren website: Feedback – Pocket siren. We truly appreciate every response, as it helps us improve the system. We also apologize for any inconvenience caused during the testing process.

Pocket Siren Tested During the National Emergency Alert Drill – First Step Complete!

On May 14, the Pocket Siren system participated in the nationwide emergency alert test. The goal was to evaluate how the system performs in a real-world-like scenario. At the time of testing, only one transmitter was installed – at the Tallinn TV Tower – which meant coverage was limited.

Despite the restricted range, we were able to gather valuable feedback on how the system performed, and the initial results were promising. This marked an important first step toward a full-scale solution that will eventually cover all of Estonia.

If you received the alert on your phone during the May 14 test, we invite you to share your experience on the Pocket Siren website: Feedback – Pocket siren. Every response helps us improve the system and make it more reliable.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused during the test, and we thank everyone who contributed to making it a success!
