Mrs. Ulrica de-Fort Menares, Director of Product Management for Cisco Medianet, told us, "An intelligent network must become more application-savvy. It must have the ability to determine the importance of a session based on its business value, and treat the session accordingly, end to end. One of the key medianet characteristics is its ability to become media-aware. Imagine this: The network can discover the type of endpoint and automatically configure the switch port for that type of device. This ability to plug and play any endpoint in the network is an example of tight integration between an intelligent network and an endpoint."

CyberLock

There are many creative ways clients utilize the innovative CyberLock access control system. In the following application, a leading mine operator in Africa has implemented the CyberLock system to manage access to a variety of items ranging from high value tools to dangerous explosives. One of the contributing factors that made the client choose CyberLock is its ability to remotely manage access, without the need for power or wiring. On a daily basis the physical layout of the mine is constantly evolving as efforts to uncover the desired resources are implemented. This ever-changing topography and underground environment made a traditional, wired access control solution impossible. CyberLock, on the other hand, was able to seamlessly replace all of the mechanical locks throughout the mine.

The mining supervisory staff has been allocated CyberKeys with associated schedules and permissions dictated by their role in the organization. Web Authorizer Communicators were chosen because they require entry of a PIN code before the key can be reauthorized, which further increased security. In addition, since the Authorizer Hub saves permissions and audit trail information locally, operations can continue even during the fairly common occurrence of a network outage. Through the Dual Key Custody feature built into the CyberLock system, the mine can ensure that the on-site explosives can only be accessed under dual supervision. This feature forces both a supervisory and a transport team lead to present an authorized key before explosives can be retrieved. This ability to provide access control in such a changing and challenging environment has made CyberLock an invaluable part of this mining operation.
