Industry Challenges
The security of vital network infrastructure. Unmanned network locations such a point of presence (PoP), street cabinets, and base stations are vulnerable objects for vandalism, sabotage, and theft. Damage has financial consequences, but also on availability, service, and your reputation. Extensive detection of unwanted external influences is necessary for better protection.
Reduction in Total Cost of Ownership. Various environmental factors influence the lifespan of your assets. If these environmental factors take on undesirable values for a longer period, this will sooner lead to disruptions and breakdowns along with repair/replacement costs that unnecessarily drive up the total cost of ownership.
Adequate Access Control and Key Management for unattended network locations. Maintenance must be carried out at these unmanned locations and connections, or network capacity must be adjusted. This is done by our own service technicians and/or by subcontractors. This is particularly important when dealing with vital network infrastructure, as it is essential to have accurate information about who requires access, when and where it is needed, and the reasons behind it. Moreover, the key management system should be easily manageable, reliable, and cost-efficient to meet these requirements effectively.
Telecom Solutions
Our Asset & Site Management system has been specifically developed for guarding, monitoring and, access control of unmanned, decentralized, vital network locations. It is an all-in-one solution with the following features. Centralized Management System in combination with decentralized controllers for:
Security: Fire detection, Intrusion detection with integration options for video verification and lntercom, fencing detection, etc.
Monitoring: Temperature, Humidity, Flood (water), Mains voltage, Shock, Tilt. Free input and output contacts for reading and controlling, for example, climate control, emergency power supplies, etc.
Access Control: Based on Mifare /DESFire ev2 card readers or Mobile Access application based on Low Energy Bluetooth technology.
Telecom network company (end user)
As a network company, you must prioritize network security and resilience against external threats. Unfortunately, operational technology’s physical security often receives minimal investment, leaving vulnerabilities.
Sabotage and interference have a profound impact on network availability, costs, and company reputation. The ASM system offers a valuable solution to enhance resilience in unmanned network locations. It also monitors factors like temperature and humidity, preventing equipment damage and reducing maintenance costs, effectively paying for itself.
PoP Builder (supplier)
Installing the system is easy. Each PoP type has its own composition of controller, sensors, and cable lengths – supplied by TKH Security as a set. The controller is screwed into a rack and the sensors are mounted and connected to the controller with color coded universal Ethernet cabling.
With a laptop and via the controller’s web page, a final check is performed to see if everything is properly connected and working correctly, and that’s it!
Network Operation Center (service provider, operations manager)
With the ASM solution, you get a comprehensive view of all physical deviations at remote locations. These deviations are displayed geographically on an overview screen. Simultaneously, on a second screen, operators can gain access to more detailed information about each alarm or event. The presence of on-site cameras allows the operator to visually verify reports and take appropriate actions for each alarm, including directing the right personnel if needed. The ASM System is highly extensive and customizable, offering the flexibility to tailor the graphical user interface according to your individual preferences.
Network Operation Center (service provider, NOC manager)
Adding new locations is easy. The ASM Configurator works with preconfigured templates per PoP type. On entering the correct IP address, the location is added.
Maintenance organization (subcontractor maintenance, service engineer)
You are registered with a client in their system and possess the necessary training and credentials for maintenance work. Being officially accredited, the NOC grants you access to the location when required, and you can conveniently open the door using a mobile app instead of carrying a physical key. This not only saves time but also enhances security since your phone is unique and cannot be duplicated like keys can be.
