ATIS Group
Smart and secure site-access control for cellphone tower sites
About the customer
ATIS Group is a neutral telecommunications tower operator committed to providing high-quality, reliable infrastructure that facilitates connectivity throughout the Cono Sur region. Their mission is to offer a neutral service to telecommunications operators, service providers, and other customers through a network of towers designed to promote the expansion and improvement of communication services. Since their establishment in 2016, the company has grown from having 185 to over 1,000 active sites in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
About the project
The company needed to securely and sustainably control access to their network of cellphone tower sites. They wanted to find a secure solution that eliminated the need for physical keys, that was weather-resistant and that provided a way to trace access to the sites.
The solution
ATIS Group was introduced to iLOQ’s smart padlocks that are both battery-free and keyless.
How life for ATIS Group became smoother and more secure
World-class security
Access rights are sent to iLOQ’s app running on the technician’s smartphone. They can be updated and cancelled remotely and in real time ensuring ATIS Group knows exactly who has access to where and at what times. Audit trails increase transparency and help prevent unauthorized access or solve instances of misuse.
Freedom from maintenance – reliable operation
iLOQ’s padlocks are battery-free ensuring continuous and reliable operation. They need no maintenance saving both time and costs.
Easier administration
iLOQ’s cloud-based access-management software is simple to use, easy to understand and quick to deploy. Keeping control of access rights is fast and simple. Access for all sites in all three countries is managed centrally.
Efficient workflows
Each employee or contractor has their own access rights sent to their smartphone to give them fast and efficient access. This eliminates the need to carry around a huge bunch of keys or waste working time travelling between offices and sites to collect and return keys. It also removes the security risks involved with lost, stolen, unreturned or copied keys.
“We strive to ensure that our towers meet the highest standards of safety and sustainability. We found, in iLOQ, a partner who shares the same vision. iLOQ’s innovative technology has given us the modern, efficient, transparent, and agile site-access-control system that we need to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted service for our customers.”
