It uses a SIM card in the intercom to place and receive calls like a mobile phone. When the visitor presses the call button, the intercom system dials a pre-programmed phone number (mobile phone or landline).
Benefits include:
- No need to wire between the gate and office.
- Anywhere there is cellular service, it will work.
- Calls can be made to multiple phone numbers in sequence or all at the same time.
- Remote control access (push keypad code or phone key to open gate, etc. ).
Typical applications:
- Gate and driveway entry.
- Remote or temporary work sites.
- Parking lots and storage areas.
- Off grid properties in rural areas.

Q: How can I get help activating my SIM card?
A: Contact AES directly for SIM activation assistance, as they provide the service.
Q: Does the replacement intercom cell or wifi board have a warranty if the previous one corroded within a year?
A: The boards, such as those
from AES, generally come with a one-year warranty. Corrosion should not
normally occur, so warranty coverage should be verified directly with
AES.
Q: What system allows a gate to
open based on a keypad call using only an internet connection, and does
it require monthly service fees?
A: The IO1123 or IO1094 Wi-Fi
or CAT-5 Video System with Keypad allows gate control via smartphone
app through an internet connection. There are no monthly service fees
for using these systems or the associated app.
Q: How can a customer specify
custom text for the “1 Button Emergency Cell Intercom Callpoint,” and
what are the available options and lead times?
A: Custom
text, such as “Push for Help,” can be specified for the blue version,
but it requires 4–6 weeks manufacturing time. The black IO1115 model
is typically in stock but does not allow customization, though users
can add their own label. The black version supports non-Verizon SIM
cards such as AT&T. For quotes, customers can select the “Quote”
payment method at checkout to receive an invoice including shipping and
tax-exempt status if applicable.
Q: How can a Doorking 5G cellular call box be replaced with a VoIP or other intercom system to eliminate monthly fees, and what about tenant directory capability, carrier support, monthly costs, and LiftMaster gate integration?
A: Wireless VoIP options such as the Opyn IP Video with Keypad or the WiFi/CAT-5 Video Intercom Module can operate over a point-to-point WiFi system, but they do not include a built-in tenant directory. Multi-tenant operation requires systems that typically have monthly fees. All wireless multitenant systems still require paid service. AT&T 4G is still fully supported and does not require 5G; the modems are software-upgradeable. Cellular monthly cost is about $22 through IntercomsOnline, which is generally lower than Doorking’s rates. Integration with LiftMaster gate openers is simple and uses two low-voltage control wires already present at most installations.
Q: Are your cameras adaptable to Ghost Controls gate systems?
A: Intercoms with cameras do work with Ghost Controls. Here is more info: https://www.intercomsonline.com/intercom-system-for-ghost-control-gate-openers

A: The IO1115 intercom is manufactured by AES in the UK.
Q: Can I add an external antenna to the One Button Cell Intercom, part number IO1115?
A: Yes. The unit uses a standard SMA connector, so you can connect an external antenna, such as the AE1058, to improve signal strength.
Q: I need a basic audio intercom to open a shipping and receiving door using a cellular phone. What do you recommend?
A: Our cellular intercoms are designed for that application. The IO1115 is a good option for a single door. If you prefer WiFi or Ethernet connectivity, the IO1123 can connect via WiFi or CAT-5 and does not require a monthly service fee.
Q: Will your 4G cellular gate intercom with keypad work in Canada on the Rogers network?
A: Yes. All of our cellular intercom units are compatible with Canadian networks, including Rogers.
Q: Does the cellular gate intercom include a SIM card, and how is it programmed?
A: The unit does not include a SIM card; you must provide your own. Programming is done through a smartphone app, not via a computer or SMS messaging.
Q: Can a cellular gate intercom automatically open for exiting vehicles, and what happens if cell service is down?
A: Automatic exit can be handled using a wireless gate exit loop available under Other Products on our website. Entry via keypad is independent of cellular service, so manual code entry will still work even if cell service is down.
Q: Do you have an intercom that can call multiple phone numbers in sequence until someone answers?
A: Yes, the cell intercom models have that capability; they call the first number and, if there is no answer, automatically call the next number and continue in sequence for up to four phone numbers, with the IO1115 as an example of a suitable model.
Q: Are the AL1020 and AL1021 clean room intercoms UL listed, what chemicals are they resistant to, and can I get a shallower unit for 2-inch clean room panels or a simpler option?
A: For the AL1020 and AL1021 clean room intercoms, the power supply is the component that must be UL listed and it is UL listed, and there is a documented list of chemical and disinfectant resistance available by contacting us through [email protected]. For installations with panels around 2 inches thick where the standard unit is too deep, the AL1020/AL1021 cannot be supplied in a shallower version, but there is a thinner, more expensive clean room model available (the IO1126), and if a simpler solution is preferred. The AL1020 and AL1021 are the more basic models compared with the IO1126.
Q: Do you sell a cellular intercom that works directly with Verizon?
A: We do not sell intercoms that use Verizon service directly. Our cellular intercoms use GSM technology, which is compatible with carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Consumer Cellular. While they cannot use a Verizon SIM card, they can call Verizon phones without issue since they can dial any phone number.
Q: Will part number IO1115 work with a Verizon SIM card?
A: No. Part number IO1115 is a GSM-based cellular intercom and requires a GSM-compatible SIM card. In the U.S., compatible carriers include AT&T, T-Mobile, and Consumer Cellular. Verizon SIM cards are not compatible with this unit, and we do not offer a Verizon-based alternative.
Q: What cellular gate intercom can replace a Doorking 1862 for a three-property gate with call buttons and two-way voice?
A: For a shared gate serving three properties, a cellular intercom with multiple call buttons and two-way voice is recommended. The IO1057 modular cellular intercom can be configured with three call buttons, allowing guests or delivery drivers to call property owners and communicate clearly. It provides cellular calling capability and avoids unreliable landlines. Compatibility with proprietary Doorking call-out functions is not supported.
