ISP Coordination
We are a full-service telecommunications consulting partner that manages the end-to-end process of connecting your project to an Internet Service Provider. From researching and contracting with local providers to coordinating construction and activation, we take the lead to prevent delays. We also support circuit testing in alignment with your project’s schedule.
Our service ensures your projects communication will be on time, every time.
Your energization timeline is of upmost importance to us and we will ensure that your communication is established on time. We accomplish this by getting involved in projects up to 24 months prior to your project needing outside plant communications established

OUR BENEFITS
Why Clients Choose GridLink IT
Nationwide ISP Procurement & Vendor Management
Gridlink IT acts as your dedicated telecommunications consultant, managing the full lifecycle of your internet service—regardless of location. From researching viable ISPs to negotiating contracts and coordinating directly with telecom providers, we take the lead to eliminate delays and communication breakdowns. We specialize in sourcing service for remote and utility-grade environments like solar farms, wind farms, and SCADA facilities.
Internet Planning & Construction Coordination
We align internet delivery with your project’s construction milestones using a structured roadmap:
- 24–15 months before Target Date: Research ISP availability
- 15–12 months: Contract with preferred provider
- 12–6 months: Track ISP construction progress
- 6–4 months: Coordinate circuit installation and full testing
This proactive model ensures connectivity is installed and operational before your SCADA and control house systems go live.
Remote & Industrial Site Connectivity Design
Our team specializes in designing and deploying connectivity solutions for challenging environments. We assist with fixed wireless, licensed microwave, fiber, and cellular broadband—configured to meet the specific demands of control houses, substations, and energy generation sites. We evaluate latency, coverage, and bandwidth to deliver robust, utility-grade connectivity anywhere in the U.S.We understand that both site operators and owners need full transparency during an outage. Our team provides detailed, timely status updates to your Operations & Maintenance (O&M) team, EPC partners, and ownership group—ensuring everyone is informed of the incident, next steps, and expected timelines for resolution.
SCADA System Integration & Control House IT Infrastructure
As a trusted SCADA Facility Internet Service Installer, Gridlink IT provides the IT foundation for real-time monitoring, automation, and remote diagnostics. We design and install and configure network equipment, and integrate your control house IT systems with firewalls, routers, and secure remote access to ensure uninterrupted control and visibility of your generation assets.
Temporary & Redundant Internet Solutions for Remote Sites
We provide temporary internet solutions that are custom-designed, professionally installed, and fully serviced throughout the project lifecycle. Whether for construction trailers, command centers, or remote field operations, our deployments ensure your team has secure internet from day one. As your infrastructure nears completion, we also implement redundant ISP circuits in the control house for automatic failover and maximum uptime.
Field Deployment, Circuit Testing & Commissioning Support
Gridlink IT handles the boots-on-the-ground execution needed to activate and validate your connectivity. We oversee trenching, conduit runs, tower installations, antenna alignment, and field termination. Once installed, we manage circuit testing and coordinate ISP activation to meet your SCADA commissioning timeline. Our team ensures your site is fully connected, tested, and ready for operation.
Engineered Internet for Remote Operations
Gridlink IT engineers custom connectivity using a mix of fiber, licensed microwave, cellular broadband, and fixed wireless solutions. We assess each location’s terrain, latency requirements, and available backhaul options to deliver both Primary and Redundant, low-latency connections that support real-time SCADA data, remote diagnostics, and substation communications.
In addition to permanent solutions, we provide temporary internet for solar farm construction trailers, control rooms, and field teams. These connections are professionally installed, custom-configured, and managed throughout the project lifecycle. When your site is ready, we can also deploy a redundant internet circuit into the control house to ensure uninterrupted connectivity—so if your primary ISP experiences downtime, your backup automatically takes over.
