Expanding the fully-connected experience to more communities across Canada - Eastlink rolls out its Security and Automation service in Ontario and Alberta

HALIFAX, May 23, 2014 /CNW/ - Since first launching Eastlink Home Security and Automation in Nova Scotia a year ago, Eastlink has become one of the fastest-growing providers of home and business security and automation systems. Now, the company is introducing Security and Automation to more and more communities across Canada.

"The remote control of everything from alarms, cameras, temperature & lighting, to door locks, all from a mobile device is relatively new," said Lee Bragg, Eastlink's Chief Executive Officer. "We've had a very good first year. As whole home connectedness becomes more and more important to consumers, we're proud to have been among the first in Canada to recognize home and business security and automation as a natural extension of the advanced services we already offer."

Eastlink has been growing its security and automation services to residential and business customers in communities across Canada including Prince Edward Island, Northern and Southern Ontario, and most recently communities in northern Alberta.

With Eastlink's Home and Business Security and Automation, customers can:

• remotely arm and disarm security, control lights, appliances, thermostat and locks
• receive text & email notifications of household events
• view live video and pictures on their mobile device and computer
• access professional 24/7 local alarm monitoring
• enjoy savings with plans for as little as $20/month and VIP customer discounts when bundling Eastlink Home Security with existing Eastlink services
