What is a Cell Phone Gate Opener?

A Cell Phone Gate Opener is a GSM cellular receiver with an antenna connected to a 4⅜” X 3⅜” X 1⅛” box. It will open a Gate, Barrier, Shutter Garage Door or any door when it receives a call from a recognized caller ID cellular or landline phone.

How does it work?

The CGate1000 and CGate1000S use a high quality GSM engine that receives calls like any Cellular Phone. To explain its basic operation we will use the following example:

If the phone number assigned to your SIM card is 850-555-1212, this will be the number you must call to open the gate. The CGate1000 and CGate1000S Cell Phone Gate Opener have a memory with a capacity to store up to 1000 numbers of people authorized to open the gate.

When the CGate1000 or CGate1000S Cell Phone Gate Opener receive a call, they will check the incoming number and if this number is on the programmed list it will register the call but reject it and open the gate. This feature makes this call free. This is the same as when you receive a call and recognize the number displayed by the caller ID but decide not to answer.
