Everest Infrastructure pioneers battery-free smart locks with iLOQ in the US telecommunications industry
Everest Infrastructure Partners and iLOQ have signed an agreement to roll out battery-free smart locks at telecom towers throughout the U.S.
iLOQ’s solution features the first industrial, battery-free smart-lock solution. iLOQ’s lock acquires operating energy from the NFC field generated by a smart device to provide access. This innovation removes physical keys, batteries, and excess wiring from the solution, and ensures maximum security while assuming zero maintenance and minimizing ongoing costs.
Everest Infrastructure Partners owns and markets thousands of wireless infrastructure locations that help connect today’s rapidly evolving communications networks.
“In partnership with iLOQ, Everest identified an operational solution to better protect our assets, obtain superior access intelligence at our sites, and provide enhanced ease of site access to our customers. We are delighted to partner with iLOQ to become the first US tower owner using battery-free smart locks. With our rapidly expanding portfolio, it is essential to deliver our customers the highest quality of service and protection,” states Matt Newton, CEO of Everest Infrastructure Partners.
“We have already deployed our ground-breaking, battery-free locking systems in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Thanks to this partnership with Everest, we are honored to also be entering the US market,” concludes Joni Lampinen, General Manager, iLOQ USA.
