Teltonika Mobile Phone Gate Controller

Teltonika, a Lithuanian company that develops and produces telecommunications devices, has released a gate controller which allows homeowners to access their gate using their cellphone. The gate controller can be installed on any type of automated entrance, whether it is in the form of a swing or sliding gate operator or sectional garage door.

It works by using a cellphone sim card from any network. Selected cellphone numbers, such as the numbers of the family members, must first be programmed into the gate controller. The gate controller can accept a maximum of 500 cellphone numbers.

If any of the pre-programmed numbers call the sim card in the controller, the controller will respond by blocking the call and either opening or closing the gate. Because the call is blocked, no deduction will be made to the cellphone load of the caller. If the call is made in the middle of operation, the gate will halt. And in case a call is made from a cellphone number that has not been pre-programmed, the device will not respond.

This device offers several benefits. First, homeowners no longer have to be in the vicinity of their homes in order to open their gate. If guests suddenly arrive, they can open the gates in order to let guests in. This is especially useful for those with guest houses in far-flung areas. In addition, they can now grant access to their gate to several family members at the same time. Lastly, in the event that homeowners have existing gate automations, they now have an alternative way of accessing their gates in case their remote control is lost or damaged.
