Company to highlight scalable access management for tower and fiber networks, including a new affordable entry-level locking option for lower-security assets
NEW YORK, NY – April 8, 2026 — At Connect (X), iLOQ will showcase how telecom operators can replace unmanaged keys, shared lock codes, and battery-dependent digital locking with a smarter approach to access across distributed infrastructure.
As tower owners, fiber network operators, and telecom service providers scale their footprints, they face a growing challenge: controlling access across remote sites, shelters, cabinets, compounds, and interior assets accessed by employees, contractors, and third-party technicians. Mechanical key systems and shared combinations create accountability gaps, slow down access changes, and add unnecessary operational friction across large field organizations.
iLOQ’s battery-free digital locking platform is designed to solve that problem. Using a smartphone as both the key and power source, iLOQ enables authorized users to access sites without batteries, wiring, or physical key management. Access rights can be issued and revoked remotely, while audit trails provide a clear record of who accessed a site and when.
At this year’s event, iLOQ will also preview a new lower-cost padlock planned for release in June 2026. Designed for lower-security applications beyond perimeter gates, the new offering is intended to help telecom operators scale digital access deeper into the site, including cabinets, interior enclosures, and other controlled assets inside compounds. This option is particularly well suited for fiber environments and operational use cases where cost-effective access control across more locking points can drive greater standardization and efficiency.
“Telecom operators need more than a lock. They need a practical way to control access across distributed infrastructure without creating more work for operations,” said Mason Reiff, Key Account Manager at iLOQ. “Our battery-free platform replaces the burden of physical keys and shared codes with real accountability and visibility into site access. With a more affordable locking option coming in June, customers will be able to extend that control to even more applications inside the compound, including cabinets, enclosures, and lockout/tagout points.”
Built for harsh environments and large-scale deployments, iLOQ’s solutions support telecom applications including tower compounds, shelters, fiber cabinets, equipment enclosures, and other critical access points. The platform is designed to help operators improve field accountability, simplify credential management, and reduce lifecycle costs across tower and fiber infrastructure.
Visitors to Connect (X) can meet with iLOQ at booth 627 to learn how battery-free digital access can modernize site operations and bring greater control to telecom infrastructure.
