Telecom

The telecommunications industry is growing at an astonishing rate and is now an essential part of our daily lives. Service disruptions can have severe impacts on businesses and residential homes. Combined with the continued spread of COVID-19, almost all industries are presented with unprecedented challenges. Under the implementation of the home office policy, it is inevitable to provide more powerful Internet access services for residents, which will make the telecommunications industry particularly important. In order to enable network signals to cover more areas and provide users with faster network access speeds, telecommunications companies are constantly increasing the number of telecommunications facilities.

These facilities are often located in remote areas, and common problems often include vandalism and theft. These infrastructures contain expensive copper wires, imported components and other valuable resources and are prime targets for thieves. While fences, locks, and sirens provide essential security, thieves often gain access to these resources by brute-forcing them, duplicating keys, and looking for oversights by staff. Once this kind of theft occurs, it will not only affect the security of the remote site, but also seriously affect the user’s online experience and bring different degrees of economic losses to the telecommunications company.

In addition, management issues are another major challenge faced by telecom companies. How telecom companies can implement effective access controls to secure and control their facilities, including data centers, remote base stations, cell towers, utility poles, fiber optic cables, and more. A service interruption in any part would be a severe blow to the telecom.

Vanma has accumulated many case experiences in the telecommunications industry, and developed solutions for these problems to help customers manage access control to telecommunications sites. Vanma Solution helps customers in the telecommunications industry to provide powerful access control with flexible authorization and accountability. The system brings a stable and safe online experience to tens of millions of users.

Multi-team Collaborative Management System

Since telecommunication networks are usually relatively large and complex systems, most of the time, infrastructure and sites may be shared by different operators or contractors. Therefore, how to effectively manage and track the related technicians and contractors who visit the site has become the most concerned problem of most telecommunication companies.

Regarding how to improve the access management of mobile network operators and many contractors, Vanma Solution can authorize different roles according to actual needs. Through smart keys, the locks of one site can be managed by multiple employees, and one employee can open as many as needed. put the lock. Before unlocking, the Vanma smart lock will verify the authority of the key. Only when the verification is passed, the lock will be opened, otherwise it will be prompted that the unlocking fails. This effectively blocks unauthorized access, further protecting the security of telecommunications sites.

Remote Control Unlocking Authority

Mechanical locks and keys are often the first line of defense in securing telecommunications infrastructure. Mechanical locks and keys appear to be versatile, easy to install, and affordable to provide an entry-level security solution. While very effective for basic needs, mechanical locks and keys can pose serious risks and lack of convenience. In order to protect the security of infrastructure and property, many organizations choose to centrally manage keys and locks. In case of emergency, maintenance personnel can only travel between the management center and the operation site, and communication sites are usually located in remote villages and towns, which wastes time and manpower, and it has been a long time since the accident happened.

In order to deal with the access control in remote areas, Vanma solution realizes real-time remote authorization by connecting with the device using Bluetooth APP, and its access rights can be issued and accepted from anywhere, so that the remote environment can obtain the most flexible and convenient access control.

Keys Are Illegally Duplicated or Lost

Not only do telcos need to build infrastructure, they also need to maintain this equipment. During maintenance, the engineer needs to get the key from the management. For convenience, some engineers will choose to copy the key to facilitate the next maintenance. Some engineers may accidentally lose the keys when they are lent out. Whether the key is copied, or the key is lost, it will pose a threat to telecommunications equipment.

Unlike traditional mechanical locks, Vanma smart locks rely on metal contacts to transmit encrypted information and authenticate the unlocking, rather than relying on the shape of the key, so there will be no illegal copying of the key. When the key is lost, the administrator does not need to replace the lock, but adds the lost key to the blacklist. When a key is on the blacklist, it will not have permission to open any locks, saving the time and cost of changing locks.

Access Records of Access Personnel for the Purpose of Traceability

With so many cellular towers, mobile network operators and their need for employee and subcontractor access, for the purpose of accountability, to eliminate financial losses due to issues such as employees forgetting to lock, a traceable access control system is essential.

Vanma Solution can provide access to all actions performed by technicians, including full audit reports. Access records within a specified time frame or outside of a specified area are available through reports to analyze any anomalies.

A Single Key for All Access Points

There are so many telecommunications company sites that employees need to carry a lot of keys when they perform maintenance on equipment. This will not only cause confusion of keys, but also waste more time in finding the correct key, reducing the work efficiency of employees.

The Vanma smart lock can open multiple locks with one key. Managers only need to set the corresponding permissions for each key, and employees only need to carry one key when performing equipment maintenance. Whether it is a door, a cabinet door or other access points, this key can be used to open it.

Avoid Expensive Cabling

Telecommunications companies cover vast lands to keep customer service up and running. With access control systems that require power, wiring can cost a lot of time and money.

Vanma has pioneered an easy-to-install solution. All lock cylinders are passive, powered by the key and authenticated for access. And the old mechanical lock cylinder can be directly replaced by the Vanma electronic lock without any changes.

Access Control for Extreme Weather

Most facilities that require protection are in outdoor environments and are particularly vulnerable to erosion by wind, sun, snow and waves. Locks must be able to withstand corrosion from inclement weather. In the Vanma access control system, the lock (lock cylinder) maintains a very high standard, the applicable temperature is -40℃ to 70℃, and its protection level is IP67 to ensure the greatest degree of protection.

Infrared sensing technology is used in the electronic key. Even if the surface of the lock is wet, the electronic key can transmit the access authority to the lock cylinder, ensuring a stable exchange of information between the key and the lock cylinder.

System Composition

Vanma Solution consists of three parts, electronic key, electronic lock and management software. The electronic key is the core of the whole system, which powers the lock when it is unlocked. Vanma locks are passive devices. Access rights are stored in the electronic key. The Vanma management software is the foundation of the entire solution, by managing the software, distributing and revoking access rights, reviewing access records.
