Yeah, VK2DY, Victor Alpha 3, Victor Whiskey X-Ray. Yeah, QSL on that. The hardware is there, right? All the hardware globally now is basically the same. It was standardized all with 3G, and now with LTE and 5G, etc. It's all basically standardized. So I assume that it's just a case of building the system locally and integrating it. So the hardware is already there to do it. It's just a case of how do you get all the different agencies on board, and how do you draw the polygons and stuff, right? So for us, the system worked in the US fairly seamlessly because they used polygons all the time, right? Here in Canada, we use alert zones, so it varies. Sometimes they'll use polygons, sometimes they'll use regional boundaries. Some of the weather warning boundaries, for example, follow local districts, right? Because it just makes sense. So we have both regions and counties, and in some cases, you'll break a region into 3 or 4 separate areas, right? And that's the way it breaks down on the electoral map. So what they've had to do is they've had to basically take each one of those broken up zones and turn it into its own polygon, and then put it into the alert system, and then the alert system just hits whatever the cell towers are that is within that box. So I imagine for you in Australia, it's just a case of building out the system to the point where you can just hit a button and it'll send out the messages. But all the hardware is already there, right? It's just a case of the software integration for your specific need. Go ahead.
