Tower Site Access Control & Security Management for a major African telecommunications infrastructure provider
Implementing digital lock installations and real-time access rights to minimize downtime, reduce theft, and provide full audit trails across remote sites.
The Challenge
Thousands of remote tower sites were secured with physical locks and managed via call-centre permissions. Lost keys, unauthorised access and undocumented site visits were driving theft, equipment downtime and contractual exposure with operator clients.
The Solution
- Coordinated nationwide installation of digital locks via WorkWide-managed field tasks, with photo evidence of each installation.
- Issued time-bound digital access rights to technicians and subcontractors tied to specific WorkWide tasks.
- Logged every lock event — open, close, access granted, access denied — into a central audit trail.
- Connected access events to incident workflows so unauthorised attempts trigger immediate investigation tasks.
The Results
Significant reduction in site theft and tampering incidents.
Less network downtime caused by access-related delays.
Complete audit trail of who accessed each site and when.
Stronger compliance posture with operator clients.
"Digital locks plus real-time access rights have transformed how we protect remote tower sites — downtime and theft are both down significantly."
