In 2025, seismic alerts sent by the SkyAlert service will reach its users faster, according to Santiago Cantú, co-founder of said service.
In a meeting with media representatives, the manager explained that the acceleration in alerts will be thanks to the new data center that Amazon Web Services (AWS) will activate in Mexico, and to which SkyAlert would move its operation.
“If I have an earthquake in Acapulco, today it passes through many nodes, it reaches AWS in the US, the information from the sensors is processed, and it goes down through many nodes and returns to deliver (the alert to users). But with the new infrastructure, in Mexico, we removed those nodes from the road,” he explained.

Thus, the information processing that SkyAlert does prior to sending a seismic alert to its users will now be carried out in the country, and the advantage will be speed.
“The information from the 180 sensors (to detect earthquakes) that SkyAlert has in Mexican territory will arrive faster, because users will be closer to the process,” Santiago Cantú specified at the recently held meeting.
When asked about how long before users will receive the alerts, Cantú said that until SkyAlert begins processing from the new Amazon Web Services data center in Mexico, it will be possible to know exactly how long the emission of the alerts will be reduced. alerts.
“But it will undoubtedly reduce time,” he said.
For its part, AWS announced a few days ago that it will be in the first quarter of 2025 when it will activate its new technological infrastructure in Mexico, a data center project in which it invested 5 billion dollars.
SkyAlert offers free seismic alerting to people through an application, a service that is used by about 10 million users in Mexico.
Likewise, it offers paid alerting solutions for small, medium and large companies.
