JACKSON, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Adtran and GOCare today announced that Telephone Electronics Corporation (TEC) has improved outage responses and reduced inbound support tickets using GOCare’s OutageIQ solution integrated with Adtran’s outage notification API and Mosaic One. Serving communities across Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, TEC delivers fiber broadband services built on a foundation of community investment and reliable service. By combining proactive notifications with real-time network insights, the service provider can now inform customers as issues are detected while equipping support teams with immediate context. This transparency helps build subscriber trust and streamlines operations.

“Reliable connectivity is essential for the communities we serve, and clear communication during an outage makes a real difference,” said David Freytag, VP of integration at TEC. “Before this integration, service disruptions could quickly lead to high call volumes, putting pressure on our teams and leaving subscribers looking for answers. With proactive messaging in place, we can notify customers as soon as an issue is identified, reducing frustration and unnecessary calls. Real-time network visibility also enables faster, more accurate support when customers contact us, helping us maintain the dependable service experience subscribers expect.”

Adtran’s outage notification API provides targeted triggers based on subscriber status and operator-defined thresholds, enabling automated notifications when specific conditions are detected. This helps service providers inform customers as issues arise, reducing uncertainty and easing the burden on operations teams. The capability is supported by Mosaic One, which aggregates network and subscriber data and makes it available for partner integration. GOCare’s platform uses real-time network context to automatically alert affected subscribers using SMS and voice channels. Together, these capabilities turn network visibility into actionable support and communication workflows, helping TEC respond faster, reduce manual effort and manage support demand more effectively.

“As networks scale, service providers need software architectures that make operational data easier to access, share and act on,” commented Jeremy Harris, VP of North America sales at Adtran. “Our outage notification API helps providers and partners translate network events into timely subscriber communications, while Mosaic One brings together network and subscriber insight and exposes it through open APIs. Together, they give service providers the flexibility to embed proactive workflows into the systems they already use. TEC’s deployment with GOCare shows the value of an open, extensible approach. It reduces integration friction, supports partner innovation and helps service providers build more responsive operations without adding complexity or locking them into a closed software ecosystem.”

“During an outage, subscribers want fast, clear answers without having to pick up the phone,” noted Kevin Mitchell, VP of marketing and partnerships at GOCare. “Our platform is designed to help broadband providers manage those moments through timely updates delivered via the channels customers rely on. By integrating with Adtran’s platform, we trigger communications from live network data, helping broadband providers reduce avoidable inbound calls, keep subscribers informed and strengthen their trust.”

The collaboration between TEC, GOCare and Adtran was recently named a finalist for the 2026 Fiber Broadband Association Constellation Award.
