Access, Security & Tenant Safety Feature


Wireless GSM-based devices’ remote management capabilities make life significantly easier for housing professionals too by reducing the amount of time they need to spend on-site via real- time, remote monitoring and updates.


For housing and property managers, a solution that delivers secure access


control – and which also allows for operation in our ‘new normal’ – is vital. Fortunately, the latest wireless access control technology reduces the need for on-site contact, while simultaneously boosting time and management efficiencies.


GSM AS THE SOLUTION GSM, or the Global System for Mobile Communications, offers an answer to these challenges. A digital cellular technology that transmits data such as voice and video to other devices, it uses Subscriber Identification Module cards – or SIM cards – to connect users across the network. The implementation of SIM cards and GSM capabilities into access control


systems, like intercoms, allows tenants to grant property access to visitors via their own smartphone or tablet. In contrast to traditional, radio frequency-


based systems, wireless GSM-based devices have an unlimited range – making property management infinitely more practical. Plus, when connected to online property management systems, GSM-based


devices make access control processes achievable remotely: for example, making changes to residency access, adding new users to the building, or changing key fob details. This significantly reduces both the need to be on-site and the number of interactions with service providers and residents – making things safer all round.


SOCIALLY DISTANCED INSTALLATIONS As a wireless, handset-free access control technology, GSM also allows for easier fittings and is ideal for retrofit installations. Service engineers’ time on-site and their interaction with residents is significantly reduced, as there is no need to enter individual dwellings or flats to connect receivers to handsets. Similarly, with no cabling to flats or handsets required, there is little requirement for ongoing maintenance.


ACCESS CONTROL FOR THE ‘NEW NORMAL’ By harnessing the power of GSM, property and housing managers can keep their residents safe while also making their access control processes more intuitive and efficient: removing the need for clunky plastic handsets and complicated installations. Wireless GSM-based devices’ remote management capabilities make life


significantly easier for housing professionals too by reducing the amount of time they need to spend on-site via real-time, remote monitoring and updates. With GSM-based access control, tenant safety can be prioritised while their security is also enhanced: all without compromising on efficiency.
