North American Wireless Carrier 1 Success Story

One of the largest wireless carriers in North America maintains tens of thousands of remote cell sites that utilize outdoor shelters, cabinets and other enclosures to protect assets. These cell sites require constant maintenance and equipment upgrades requiring both employee and vendor field technicians to frequently access sites.

Challenge

The wireless carrier’s research data revealed that each employed field technician was spending on average 12 hours per week escorting vendor technicians to provide site and equipment access utilizing physical keys.

Solution

SES provided an end-to-end remote access control security solution that supports all types of cell sites. This solution enables their employee field technicians to share secure and temporary access to vendor technicians using their smartphone once access is authorized within the system.

Result

Excessive and redundant technician truck roles to the sites and physical keys are no longer required for a vendor technician to access a site. As a result, SES significantly simplified logistics and improved operational efficiencies during vendor site visits. The wireless carrier experienced a 6 month Return On Investment with substantial ongoing annual savings.

North American Wireless Carrier 2 Success Story

A nationwide large wireless carrier in North America is rolling out thousands of 5G remote outdoor cell sites enclosed in cabinets and shrouds to differentiate in the marketplace and support their mobile customer’s ongoing service needs.

Challenge

This wireless carrier was experiencing battery and equipment theft at many sites throughout the country that caused significant damage, network downtime, and monetary losses. Site access history around the time of the theft was unknown.

Solution

The wireless carrier implemented the SES cabinet solutions for new and existing cabinet sites consisting of an internal door blocking solution for new cabinets and an external pucklock solution for existing sites.

Result

The wireless carrier experienced no theft in the sites protected by SES. As a result of this robust cabinet security solution, the wireless carrier eliminated the financial loss of a magnitude of tens of millions of dollars and improved network up-time.

North American Site Real Estate Owner Success Story

One of the largest real estate owners of communications sites in North America is expanding its properties and tenant base nationwide. These sites host several tenants and are comprised of expensive assets to include wireless antennas, network equipment and enclosures, and generators – all protected by a perimeter fence.

Challenge

Many employee and vendor technicians from the site owner and tenant organizations enter and exit these sites throughout the day. As a result, both the site owner and tenants need the ability to efficiently control access to protect their high-value assets.

Solution

SES’s integrated system now provides comprehensive perimeter gate and equipment enclosure security while allowing the site owner and tenants to remotely manage access to the site compound and their own assets. In addition, all parties have complete visibility to an access audit trail that records the Who, Where, When, and Why a technician visited each site.

Result

Security, logistics, and operational efficiencies are greatly improved resulting in significant cost savings. Emergency and “on-demand” site visits are also more efficient and timelier. Communication between the site owner and tenant is greatly improved.
