Frequency Asked Questions

• What is EDIS ?

  During the occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes, it is a system for detecting the disaster on site with advanced technology and sending warnings to the region before the disaster and taking autonomous measures.

• What is EdisBox?

  It is a device positioned on buildings to transmit an early warning signal when an earthquake occurs.

• What is required for EdisBox installation?

  All we need for EdisBox installation is a robust and durable wired or 4G internet connection. If you are planning to buy EDISBOX for your block, apartment or house that works with a wired internet connection, you must have a wired internet infrastructure installed in the installation area.

• How long in advance will I receive a warning?

  EDIS' early warning time may vary depending on your location and the depth and magnitude of the earthquake. However, EDIS sends an alert before the destructive waves of the earthquake (S-wave) reach you. Because each region has a different geological structure and earthquake risk, warning times can be affected by geographical location. For example, areas closer to the epicenter of an earthquake may receive the warning sooner, while more remote areas may take a little longer.

• Can I still receive an alert if I am outside the earthquake zone?

  Depending on the magnitude of the earthquake, if you are 500 km away from the earthquake, you will be warned with the settings you will make on your Edis Box device.

• If my phone is not connected to the internet, how will I receive an alert?

  PUSH NOTIFICATION via the app and also as SMS notification.

• What do I need to do to benefit from your services?

  If you leave a registration on our website, our customer representatives will contact you and inform you about the process.

• What is a P Wave?

  P-waves, or primary waves, are a type of seismic wave that propagates from the point where an earthquake starts and are the fastest. These waves occur in the first moments of an earthquake and usually travel faster than surface waves. In other words, they are primary waves and have no destructive effects. Its speed is approximately 6km/s.

• What is the S Wave?

  S waves are the second type of seismic waves of an earthquake, named after the secondary, and are the most destructive earthquake waves.

• Will I receive alerts when my phone is turned off?

  While buildings where the system is installed can receive alerts, if mobile apps are turned off, users cannot receive early warning signals through the mobile app. This can prevent emergency alerts from being communicated more comprehensively and reaching more users.

• Do you receive my location information via the mobile app?

  If you have given your permission, yes, we update your location information every 15 minutes so that we can reach you faster after a disaster.

• Is it enough to just buy an EdisBox device to benefit from my site?

  Yes, it will be enough.

• How will the warning reach me?

  The EDIS warning system has a communication infrastructure specially designed for buildings. Earthquake early warning signals are transmitted directly from the EDIS system to buildings and mobile users.

• Could I be subject to a false warning?

  The early warning system software is supported by artificial intelligence and multi-parameter controls are provided. No error has yet been detected in the tests conducted and in the regions where the stations are located.

• Can the warning system be applied to all buildings?

  Yes, it can be applied to all buildings. The speed is approximately 3.5km/h.

• What distinguishes EDIS from other warning systems?

  We can summarize the prominent features of EDIS as follows: 1. Positioning and Computation Speed: Unlike traditional early warning systems, EDIS places special devices at the points closest to the earthquake center. In this way, it can detect earthquake waves faster and more effectively. By minimizing the computation time, it can produce solutions within milliseconds from the onset of the earthquake. 2. P-Wave Detection Time: While conventional systems usually take a few seconds to detect the P-wave of an earthquake, EDIS detects it in milliseconds. This fast response time enables preventive measures to be taken before the earthquake waves reach the settlements. 3. On-Site Solution Generation Capability: The system quickly analyzes the magnitude, depth and other important features of the earthquake by using the data received through the devices located at the points closest to the earthquake center. In this way, it produces on-site solutions and sends fast signals to the public and relevant organizations.

• How many magnitude earthquake warnings does EDIS give?

  It is completely related to the distance of the earthquake, although it is not necessary, it can go down to a minimum of 2.5 magnitude.

• Can it give time to exit the building when a warning is received?

  It gives you the arrival time of the S wave, and you can decide whether you can get out in this time or not based on the exercises you have done before.

• When EDIS becomes available, will Istanbul and its surroundings benefit? Or will it be available all over Turkey at the same time?

  The Marmara Region will be activated first, followed by the Aegean Region and other critical provinces.

• Do you plan to use EDIS in other parts of the world?

  Yes, USA, Canada, Israel, Mexico, Philippines India are currently in talks for installation.

• Will users be able to find out where their relatives will be during an earthquake?

  This will be possible through the mobile app, but this is currently under construction.

• Who are we?

  EDIS Information Technologies is a technology company formed by three different leading companies in Turkey. Operating in the field of earthquake warning system solutions, EDIS offers artificial intelligence-based technology solutions. EDIS aims to provide social benefit and save lives by developing earthquake early warning solutions with its team that has rich knowledge and experience in their areas of expertise. In this context, it carries out important studies to increase safety.

• Who are EDIS solution partners?

  HUBBOX Provides integration of home, office, building devices and systems. SENTEZ: Active in earthquake engineering, structural health monitoring and seismic measurement systems. TARGET AUDIT: Since 2008, it has been providing contracted advertising services with housing estates and collective living spaces.

• What is our mission?

  To increase public awareness, minimize the damage that people may suffer, and encourage them to take protective measures against natural disasters thanks to its advanced network architecture based on artificial intelligence. EDIS aims to become a global player in the field of earthquake warning systems through its collaborations with reputable companies in Turkey.

• What is our vision?

  To become a pioneering, reliable and innovative artificial intelligence technology company by developing the EDIS early warning system.

• How Does The System Work?

  EDIS quickly collects earthquake data through its own earthquake stations and analyzes it within milliseconds. After detecting the first and non-destructive (P wave), it transmits early warning signals to building systems and mobile users, enabling protective measures to be taken before the destructive (S waves) of the earthquake reach the settlements.

• Can I join the system as an individual?

  Yes. You can benefit from our services by having our home earthquake early warning alarm device.

• Does EdisBox have a lifespan?

  As with electronic circuits, minimum 20 years.
