Connectivity for self-storage facilities

Gates, cameras and rentals with few staff on site. A workshop, a yard or a front counter, each with machines, cameras and customers on the same network.

Internet, wireless and security for self-storage facilities

Each of the three has to be right, and they are usually bought from different companies. We compare them together.

Internet

Online rentals and remote management depend on the connection.

Wireless

Gates, smart locks and cameras need wireless across the property.

Security

Access systems and tenant data have to be protected.
