ESB Telecoms Ltd, a subsidiary the Irish electricity company, has named their LOCKEN Access System for an award in the category “Application of Technology “at recent annual Innovation Recognition Awards.
The digital access control product was recently integrated into ESB Telecoms’s IT extranet. The imstallation covers 1000 access systems for Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) base stations at 450 locations around the country, after a trial by ESBT. The telecoms firm decided to protect Points of Presence (PoP) cabins to comply with health and safety.
Rory McGowan, Managing Director of ESB Telecoms ltd said: “We were very pleased with the team’s pioneering and creative spirit to leverage flexibility within the access solution to deliver further improvements for our business.”
And Nick Dooley, Managing Director of LOCKEN UK said: “We are honoured that our solution was chosen for the award. There were 500 original applicants reduced to 10 shortlisted entries on the night of the awards ceremony, so it really is a fine achievement for both us and the ESBT Health and Safety team.”
Peter Gregg, Health and Safety Manager at ESB Telecoms said: “Our remote facilities need to be accessible to more than 1,700 contractors, most of whom are external third parties. Being able to rely on LOCKEN’s advanced access control solution has enabled us to manage activity at remote sites and ensure thousands of access requests are granted to contracted personnel each month, ultimately resulting in increased operational efficiency for ESBT.”
