GSM Intercoms, which have been very popular in Europe and Australia, are now available in the United States from RoveTec. In the U.S., a GSM Intercom is referred to as a Cell Phone Network Intercom.
The Infinite-Range Wireless Cell Phone Network Intercoms by RoveTec not only let their owners talk to visitors, but they also have the ability to trigger a gate opener or electric door lock by pressing a key on a telephone keypad. The gate or door can also be triggered with text messages. In the event of a party or other situation where lots of people will be entering the gate, a text message could be sent to the gate to latch it in the open position. At the end of the party, another message is sent to close it again.
With these intercoms you can:
- Let family members, who forgot their keys, enter the house.
- Let delivery people in with instructions on where to leave packages.
- Not have to run over to an intercom to answer the door.
- Use a text message to latch a gate open for parties.
- Let guests use their cell phone as an access key to open a door or gate.
- Have convenience and peace of mind from having all of the above.
In the U.S. GSM services are offered by AT&T and T-Mobile and those providers who contract for services from them like Straight Talk, Net10, and others. GSM-based mobile phone service requires use of a standard-sized Subscriber Identification Module (SIM), which is an integrated circuit that securely stores information needed to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices. This SIM card is placed in the cell phone network intercom.
Three telephone numbers can be programmed in the intercom system, and these can be landline telephones or cell phones. When a visitor arrives at the intercom and presses the button, it dials the first number. If the first number does not answer, the intercom dials the second number, and then the third. Visitors should always be able to reach someone so important deliveries or visitors will not be missed.
Guests can also use their cell phone as a gate opener remote control if their telephone number is programmed into the intercom. The intercom uses the caller ID of a mobile phone to identify callers, and when it identifies callers on the list, it activates its internal relay, which opens the gate. Numbers for delivery drivers, landscaping personnel, friends, family members, or anyone who needs access to the property can be programmed.
Says David Onslow, Marketing Director of IntercomsOnline.com who distributes the product, “With GSM intercoms you get benefits you can’t get from traditional wired or wireless intercoms, plus there is no need to run a telephone line or wires to the system, thereby eliminating the expense and mess associated with that task.”
