Abstract: The apparatus is for use with a grid-linked facility and an alarm functionality. The grid-linked facility is of the type having a building containing an electrical load; and a breaker connected to the load and to the grid. The alarm functionality includes electronics adapted to produce information, the information being responsive to the availability of grid power downstream of the breaker; and transmission functionality adapted to receive information and to send received information beyond the building, the transmission functionality being coupled in use to the electronics for the receipt of information therefrom. The apparatus comprises a sensing functionality disposed in use upstream of the breaker; and circuitry coupled in use to the sensing functionality and the transmission functionality to deliver information associated with the availability of grid power upstream of the breaker to the transmission functionality.

Abstract: The device is for use with a wireless transmitter and a cell site. The cell site is of the type that includes a base station, the base station having an HVAC system. The device includes: a relay adapted to be coupled to the HVAC system, adapted to be triggered and adapted, when coupled to the HVAC system and triggered, to reset the HVAC system; a receiver adapted for communication with the transmitter; and a computing facility coupled to the receiver and the relay, the computing facility being adapted to trigger the relay responsive to the receiver.
