Text messaging software is used a variety of ways in electric companies. PageGate can be used internally to dispatch technicians and field service engineers, as well as to communicate the status of outages to the community. SMS messages can be sent from workstations on a network, via web pages, or from within existing software applications. PageGate is modular and can be scaled to meet the size of the electric company.
Immediately alert all relevant staff during emergencies — ensuring rapid coordinated response to critical infrastructure events.
Alert operations and field crews of approaching severe weather — enabling protective measures before conditions deteriorate.
