Control your automatic gates via cellphone

7 September 2005 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Remote Control Technologies has developed an automatic gates controller system that allows people to open and close their gates using their cellphones, doing away with using remote controls. The GSM Gate controller Version 1.0 (GGC Ver1.0) can be used in town houses, flats and individual houses.

A tenant needs only dial the GGC Ver1.0 and then the GGC will check if the user (tenant) is registered in that building ie, (whether the user is valid). If he/she is a valid user then the GGC will open the gate immediately. The tenant may also send a 'Please call me' SMS to the GGC to open or close the gate.

When new tenants join a townhouse complex, the administrator adds their numbers to the GGC database. New tenants can be added or erased from the database either by using custom GGC configuration software running on a PC, or remotely, via SMS. Provided there is airtime in the GGC, a confirmation SMS is then sent back to the administrator to confirm that the command was executed.

The administrator can either use a computer (preferably a laptop) or a cellphone to configure the GGC Ver1.0. The administrator can add, erase one by one, erase all and read the list of tenants that are allowed in the premises. Should a tenant's cellphone go missing, he/she simply reports it to the administrator so that the GGC does not open for that phone number again, preventing unauthorised entry.
