The complexity of managing multiple systems in the telecom sector

Telecom companies are often rather large companies with an extensive infrastructure, spread over multiple locations. These buildings consist of both administrative buildings and technical spaces that contain various comfort, safety and security systems. Managing and monitoring all these systems can be difficult. 

A distinctive feature of most telecom companies is their strong network infrastructurethat lends itself to the centralization and visualization of their infrastructure and assets. Telecom companies also attach great importance to (cyber) security as they want to limit the risk of security leaks to the minimum. As a result, many telecom companies also work with their own control room and security operators.

The need for a software package that centrally integrates all systems

Since most telecom companies have different administrative and technical rooms (including data centers) that are spread across the entire country, it is necessary that they receive safety alarms like fire and disruptions via our central visualization package, Sky-Walker. For the security needs, Sky-Walker can manage the alarms and control their access control and intrusion detection as well.

The comfort aspect is often quite different from the safety and security aspect for the typical multi-site companies in the telecom sector. Companies often choose a decentralized solution for alarms from HVAC and comfort in general. Controlling lighting, heating, etc. depends on the local occupation of a building. The need for a local visualization and monitoring platform is easily met by using our Sky-Walker platform. By installing local Sky-Walker clients with all necessary comfort systems different systems from multiple vendors can be integrated in the local client, which in turn is connected to the central Sky-Walker client.

Why an operator will love working with Sky-Walker

With Sky-Walker, an operator or facility manager can easily overlook all the buildings of the company. Thanks to our visual and intuitive system he or she can switch from location to location with a single mouse click. And beyond that, for every building the specific CCTV camera's, access controls, visitor badges, parking barriers and so on are visualized easily and straightforward.

High priority alarms in the likes of a fire detection, intrusion alarm etc. pop up from the screen with clear color codes, flashes and sounds. This is needed to make sure that no alarm is overlooked or ignored. In case of an alarm, personnel and visitors on the ground can be guided and evacuated easily with the help of a pre-determined and automated workflow.

The added value of Sky-Walker

A big plus is that our platform Sky-Walker is vendor independent. We can integrate subsystems from different manufacturers in one visual, intuitive and customizable environment. No need to change all your systems when integrating Sky-Walker. Plus, your operators will no longer need to know everything about every system and it’s ways of working. The amount of time saved is immense. Thanks to our in-house development team, we keep updating our platform Sky-Walker with different modules and features so our end client can always benefit from a system specified for his/her needs. 

The reporting data that is drawn from Sky-Walker can help management make the right decision regarding the future because now they have full insight in every aspect of their building, safety and security systems. That way, the systems can serve the company in many more ways then ever expected.

So, is Sky-Walker the right platform for you?

In summary, the use of Sky-Walker can benefit the telecom sector in more ways than can even be written down here. The opportunities are endless. But here are the most important ones:
  • Easy and clear management of your complex and extensive infrastructure
  • You can optimally adjust their procedures through monitoring and reports (dashboards)
  • Operators need only 1 graphic platform to monitor all their systems
  • Training costs of an operator are much smaller since they can be deployed more quickly in the control room
  • Software simulation of alarms and malfunctions allows operators to be perfectly trained to respond quickly and efficiently in crisis situations
