The telecommunications industry provides communication services through various means, including phone, internet, and television. It plays a significant role in connecting people and businesses worldwide.

However, the industry faces many security challenges.

Preventing Unauthorized Access to Base Stations

Infrastructure and sites in the telecom industry are often jointly maintained by different operators and contractors. Therefore, how to effectively manage and track the related technicians and contractors who visit the site has become a major concern for most telecom companies.

Administrators can set different permissions for different contractors and operators, including the time, key, and locks. The Vanma key communicates with locks via infrared to confirm whether they can be unlocked or not, instead of the shape of the key. So the key cannot be copied, enhancing security.

Remote & Temporary Authorization for Contractors

Many organizations centralize the management of keys and locks to secure infrastructure and property. In an emergency, the maintenance staff must travel between the management center and the site. The telecom sites are often located in remote areas, making it impossible to respond to incidents in the first place.

Managers can remotely authorize access to maintenance staff. So keys can be left on site. This ensures that the keys are not misused and maintenance staff can repair them the first time.

Audit Trails & Access Traceability

The telecom industry has a large number of employees. A traceable access control system is indispensable to avoid the exact person responsible cannot be found in case of an incident.

Through the software, managers can see who unlocked which lock at what time. The data is uploaded directly to the management center and collated into an audit report that will not be tampered with

Reducing Maintenance Costs of Telecom Locks

Telecom companies have many sites, and employees need to carry a large number of keys when performing equipment maintenance, reducing work efficiency. Once the keys are lost, the locks can only be replaced, resulting in expensive long-term maintenance costs.

Vanma electronic locking system can use one key to unlock all locks under authority, each employee only needs to carry one key. And all locks are passive electronic locks, which require no wiring during installation and can be replaced in just a few minutes.
