Challenges Solutions

Challenges for telecom iLOQ S50 allows telecoms providers to focus
infrastructure managers: on core business – managing and maintaining
sites, not providing access to them.
• Many sites to be managed
• Remote locations • No need for batteries, wiring or maintenance
• Many users / technicians • Harvests electricity from a smartphone’s NFC induction
• 3rd-party users • Turns a smartphone into a key and a power source
• Both planned and unplanned access needs • Access rights are sent over the air in real time
• Lack of information • Advanced technology ensures high security
• Threat of in-house theft • Withstands harsh environments (IP 68)
• Environmentally friendly
Challenges with access • Locks can be opened with a smartphone offline
management of physical keys:
Keep your sustainability targets by
• Logistics: travelling to collect and return keys, eliminating battery waste with iLOQ’s
numerous keys in circulation battery-free solutions

• Operational costs: key copying, replacing cylinders,
access management for customer’s technicians
(customer = rent space in the tower)

• Security: uncontrolled key copying, no information
about who has had access to the tower, inability to
track misuse in cases of equipment theft

Challenges with battery-powered keys:

• Impossible to remove access rights
of lost or stolen keys

• Keys need to be periodically updated
• Maintenance related to changing batteries
• Cannot make quick changes to access rights

in cases of urgent maintenance
• Not possible to identify the user

as keys are easily handed over

Challenges with battery-powered locks:

• Very high operational costs to change batteries
• Not environmentally friendly
• Lack of access if battery wears out
• Battery-powered solutions are unreliable

in extreme weather conditions
• Normally, they have an alternative opening

“just incase” – security problem
