  • There are different types of base stations. Each one has its own security needs. Some are located on roof tops. Some in remote, rural and unmanned areas. Base stations include several points, which must be secured: gate, base station antenna, anti-climb barrier, backup generator fuel, backup generator, data cabinet and equipment room. 

    There are multiple user groups from teleoperator personnel to maintenance service providers that need flexible, but highly controlled access. 

    Digital and electromechanical security and access management solutions enable flexible, but controlled access for all access points. Robust and tamperproof hardware is the key to ensure that remotely located sites are secured even in the harshest conditions. Through integrations, telecom companies can take the most out of their digital systems and automation. For example, integration of access management and service management systems allow subcontractors to proactively request access whenever needed. Without compromising the telecom site security.

  • Telecom security requirements depend on the business model of the telecom company. 

    Mobile network operators have high security needs to protect their unmanned assets. It’s vital to consider the following three factors: Robust security hardware across the infrastructure, cloud-based security and access management system, and operational efficiency with streamlined systems and processes.

    Tower companies need to focus on ensuring smooth access for subcontractors. On shared sites, the main challenge is to give access to mobile network operators and their subcontractors at the right time. The most crucial thing is key control. Whether the tower company is using a key-based or keyless system, each access or key holder should be tracked in the system.

    The telecommunications market has been evolving rapidly in the past two decades. Its infrastructure and asset vendors can vary over time. This makes the infrastructure and assets a complex net of devices in which the locking points may vary from vendor to vendor. To keep security and access control easily manageable, telecom companies should consider having one single system or systems with 3rd party integrations. 

  • Physical security is vital for operations, but also for safety. Here's what to consider when planning a physical security solution for data centers: 

    Policies
    It is essential to know how your site security is governed and the way your operations manage it. This helps you set the right goals and ensure long-term success.

    Standards
    What are your local industry's standards and how do they meet your security and safety compliance policies? Make sure that you are fully aware of this before planning the system. We also recommend making sure that the system is easily scalable and adjustable for future needs and regulations.

    Processes
    Make sure that the access management and security processes fit your other internal processes. With clearly defined ownership, roles and responsibilities, you will be able to define and implement the right plan.

    Technology
    Having several independent systems that do not communicate with each other is a challenge from the operative point of view. You need to know what your existing capacity and capabilities are for integration before choosing a partner with the compatible digital solution and cloud-based setup that suits your business.
