There are many benefits to a GSM/4G system. One being the removal of the need to wire the system to each individual apartment/flat. Therefore, making the system more environmentally friendly compared to the traditional hardwired approach. Instead, the system communicates with residents’ smart devices or landlines via the GSM network. The IPGUARD is also a lot easier to install and is more cost-effective than traditional hardwired systems. The intuitiveness and ease of use of our real-time remote management platform is another reason to choose IP Door Entry Ltd!

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. This technology has been around for a while, but one of its latest applications is that of the door entry and access control industry.
