At Altnets, we remain committed to providing our customers with state-of-the-art telecom solutions that support the design of more intelligent, efficient, and safer networks. In line with this commitment, we’re excited to announce our strategic partnership with iLOQ, a global leader in smart access management solutions. Together, we aim to introduce cutting-edge, self-powered digital locking technology to Internet Service Providers (ISPs), revolutionising how access to telecoms infrastructure is managed.
Why This Partnership Matters
The telecom industry is ever-evolving, and traditional locking systems have failed to keep tempo with this busy change of pace. Physical keys can easily be lost, stolen, or duplicated, which all result in massive security risks. Managing these keys requires engineers to travel to collect them, wasting valuable time and increasing operational costs. By integrating iLOQ’s advanced technology into our portfolio, we’re addressing these challenges head-on.
iLOQ’s digital locking solutions replace conventional keys with encrypted, smartphone-enabled access control. This innovative system allows access rights to be assigned and managed remotely via a secure cloud-based platform, eliminating the need for physical keys.
Benefits for Our Customers
This partnership with iLOQ benefits our customers in multiple ways, including:
- Remote management: Access rights may be assigned or withdrawn on the spot without visiting the premises.
- Increased security: The use of advanced encryption, two-factor authentication, and audit trails provide a very rigorous level of security.
- Efficient operations: Engineers can concentrate on more important things rather than spending their efforts managing keys or going out for key collection.
- Greener: iLOQ’s battery-free locks eliminate the need for disposable batteries, supporting environmentally friendly operations.
- Scalable: The solution can fit any kind of network, from a small-scale deployment to thousands of locks.
- Integration: iLOQ’s open Application Programming Interface (API) ensures seamless compatibility with existing cloud-based systems, streamlining workflows and enhancing overall efficiency.
This collaboration represents an opportunity for us to go beyond the traditional scope of telecoms solutions. By distributing iLOQ’s forward-thinking products, we’re providing our clients with smarter tools to enhance security, lower operating costs, and simplify network management.
“Understanding the importance of supporting our clients in the development of smarter and greener networks, we at Altnets are always looking for ideas that can help achieve this,” said Leigh Buckwell, Technical Director at Altnets. “Our partnership with iLOQ means going beyond the scope of what we usually do, offering advancements that mitigate risks related to telecoms infrastructure. By replacing outdated key systems with iLOQ’s innovative technology, we’re helping our clients secure their assets and simplify network management.”
A Smarter Future for Telecoms
As we continue to support ISPs in delivering high-speed, reliable fibre broadband to communities across the UK, partnerships like this are key to our mission. Together with iLOQ, we’re redefining how telecoms networks are built and managed, ensuring that they are secure, efficient, and environmentally responsible.
The collaboration with iLOQ is another step that Altnets has taken in its initiative to assist ISPs with new, innovative products that have long-term benefits.
