Retrofitting new technologies and systems to existing residences is becoming more of a priority for housing professionals in order to tackle operational inefficiencies - while being mindful of budget pressures and the overall tenant experience.
Take access control, for example – retrofitting the latest door entry technology can enhance the security and accessibility of residences in a cost-effective way, allowing housing professionals to improve the tenant experience and streamline operations.
However, it’s often the case that continuous repairs are favoured over installing brand-new systems, which can be expensive and tricky to do – the upheaval of recabling entire apartment blocks, for example, can be significant.
This isn’t the case with GSM – the Global System for Mobile Communications. As the same technology that powers mobile phone calls, GSM is a cable-free technology, ensuring that retrofitting GSM-based wireless access control systems is simple and takes significantly less time than traditional wired devices. Making plastic handsets redundant, with GSM-powered intercoms tenants can control access by using their landline, smartphone or tablet – from anywhere in their home, or indeed the world.
And for housing professionals, GSM technology can be linked to remote or off-site management systems, allowing housing and property managers to oversee all access to the block from their own office or place of work, in real-time. As such, housing managers can carry out day-to-day administration tasks in just a few clicks – such as editing key fobs or changing tenant information.
At Intratone, our entire range of next-generation wireless property management systems have been created using GSM technology. Ideal for housing professionals seeking to easily enhance security and user-friendliness in existing stocks – without incurring significant costs. Our innovative portfolio is the perfect solution for all your retrofitting needs.
