| Scenario / Problem |
Solution |
| A Golf Club was looking at a
key fob or swipe card system for 350 members and their families to gain
access to the clubs facilities. They have open
or tournament days where access is to be allowed to the general public
and visitors from other clubs.
There are concerns that not every member of the club
has a mobile phone.
 |
An automatic barrier was installed along
with our 500 user GSM Gate opener unit. The gate opener was set to
closed access, only allowing members whose phone number was registered
into the grounds. During tournament days, the
gate system is set temporally to open access and the phone number of the
gate is given out freely to visitors. After the event, the system is set
back to closed mode meaning only club members can access.
A standard key fob system was also installed to allow
members without mobile phones into the club.
350 members, 295 which have mobile phones which saved buying
additional key fobs at £28 each.
Total Saving on key fobs = £8,260 !!!

| A company's car park is being
abused by
the general public. The clamping signs are not working and it is causing
problems for employees who arrive to a car park full of cars who have
no connection to the company.
|
An automatic barrier was installed along
with our GSM Gate opener unit. The gate opener was set to open access
allowing anyone who has the number to open the barrier.
Security is not an issue so anyone with the correct
access phone number can open the barrier and use the car park.
Should too many people have the access phone number then
at a later date a new SIM card will be installed into the unit giving it
a new phone number to be issued.

| A company have
an electric sliding gate where articulated lorries need access without
blocking the road waiting to enter the premises. Gates cannot be left
open during the day for safety and security reasons along with the risk of public entering the
car park.
|
Along with the existing
controller where an intercom is installed, the GSM Gate Opener was
installed in parallel. This means the gate can be operated in two ways.
Drivers now open the gates as they turn onto the road 300 yds away, by
the time they arrive at the gate, it is open ready to drive
straight in. It also has the added function of
night staff being able to access the premises without having to wait
until someone hears the intercom buzzer.
The existing intercom still works, allowing visitors
to access the company in the normal way.
Problem Solved

| A council have
a car park where the barrier is left open all day. The car park is being
abused. Employees used swipe cards to open the gate. The council decided
that when an employee left that there was no record of the card or who
held it so access was still being allowed. Open
access is no good as they were concerned that anyone could get hold of
the number and again allow for the car park to be abused.
|
Leaving the existing card
system in place, we installed the GSM Gate opener unit in parallel with
the old system. Now when a new employee starts, the manage sends an
authorisation text with the new employees phone number on it to give
access. When the employee arrives in the morning, they call the gate
access phone number to be allowed entry. When an
employee leave, the manager sends a delete command for the phone number
of the employee. Immediately the ex-employee is barred access to the car
park.
The system being set to 'caller ID' mode means only
employees in the list within the unit get access.

| A small
shopping complex has a separate car park for employees.
They wanted to stop the general public using the car park
using the 'free' employees car park.
An automatic barrier was installed along with our GSM
Gate opener. Key fob and swipe cards was not an option due to cost of
replacements and the possibility of loss or theft from a car.
A numbered key pad was not an option due to vandalism
and the turnover of staff meaning constant number 're-programs'. It was decided that 'open access' was the solution.
|
We agreed with a local
barrier installer to install the barrier without any opening technology.
We then arrived on site install the GSM Gate opener unit
and set it to open access to anyone who called the correct number.
This now means employees can access teh car park but
the general public are kept out.
Once a month the owners change the SIM card in the
GSM gate opener and inform everyone needing access of the new
phone number to call to open the barrier.
The GSM Gate Opener is located inside the main panel
and cannot be vandalised.
There is also the option if employees take too much of
an advantage of allowing friends and family to use the employees car
park of locking the GSM gate Opener down to caller ID access only and
then only employees mobiles who are registered can enter the car park.
