Tech Solution for Access Control

By Katrina McDowell on Mar 4, 2024 in Technology

The latest gate opener technology is essential for property owners or managers who want to control gate access at properties. A modern solution working at many properties is WiFi and Bluetooth gate controls, especially those with many daily users. Let’s review some of the best WiFi gate controllers to buy.

WiFi gate controllers connect to the property’s WiFi and open and close the gate once users present or enter the required credentials. Often, users can connect using their smart devices, key fobs and code access. In addition, property owners or management can monitor entry to the gate because of the WiFi connectivity. Use Bluetooth to access gate controllers when WiFi is down or unavailable.
