Industry Solutions: Telecom

Security-conscious telecommunications companies and service providers turn to Lenel to secure their people, assets and information.

Your business is about networks, connectivity, wireless communications, mobile platforms, systems integration and infrastructure solutions. And with expensive equipment, sensitive data moving through your network, and thousands of customers going in and out of your facilities, your main concern is to provide the highest security without interfering with your daily activities. We speak the same language.

Lenel secures all components of your enterprise at a local level with a single installation, or at a multiple site, multiple country level, all with a single scalable system.

Flexibility And Control

To control who will have access to sensitive areas where assets are stored or customer information is managed, it’s essential to define facility access levels. Access levels gives the flexibility to control whether a person can have access to different segments within the facility, monitor the traffic over restricted areas, get activity reports with date and time, and have real-time video viewing and recording in case a cardholder attempts to access an area after hours. System administrators can also assign employees as ‘escorts’ for visitors and contractors who need to access sensitive areas at periods of time. In addition, based on access levels, cardholders can move assets throughout the facility in a secure and controlled way. The flexibility of OnGuard extends to automatically enable a cardholder’s network account so that the computer is ready for him/her upon entering a determined area. Likewise, the system will automatically disable the same account as soon as the cardholder badges out from the same area.

Sophisticated System With Minimal Network Traffic

Minimizing the company’s network traffic is fundamental for telecom companies. OnGuard’s distributed network architecture allows client workstations and intelligent field controllers to be placed directly on the existing network. Decisions are made and processed at the field panels, minimizing network traffic and providing real-time access decisions. Using sophisticated database tools, OnGuard can bi-directionally exchange cardholder data with other business systems such as human resources and time & attendance, and can integrate with other security subsystems such as disaster recovery, fire alarm, intercom and personal safety/duress systems. It can send/receive alarm messages directly to wireless devices such as PDA and mobile phones for immediate response to events. That’s the power of OnGuard.

Multiregional Protection

Whether your organization is in a single location, multiple locations across the country, or multiple countries, you need only one security solution. OnGuard has the scalability to grow with your requirements. Corporate security and IT managers can have central control over the entire integrated security system. Regional offices can maintain independence and operate their individual security systems without relying on the corporate wide area network. Periodic database synchronization ensures that all locations have the same, up to date information. All regions within your organization will speak the same security language: your language, our language.
