LINK enables Gulf Coast Electric to offer rapid customer service response, without additional customer inconvenience. The LINK automatically alerts GCEC of an outage, allowing faster power restoration.
LINK fits quickly and easily between the existing meter and meter base without any special modifications to the meter. The only other requirement is a simple connection to your existing telephone line. The parameters for LINK’s functions can be modified remotely over the telephone, and the system uses your existing telephone line for reporting back to the cooperative.
LINK is your connection with…
