## Come funzionano Remootio e GateOpener

Questi prodotti risolvono lo stesso problema con tecnologia fondamentalmente diversa. Capire questa differenza e la chiave per scegliere bene.

### Remootio 3: WiFi + Bluetooth

According to [Remootio's product specifications](https://www.remootio.com/products/remootio-3), the Remootio 3 uses WiFi for remote access and Bluetooth as a local fallback within roughly 15 meters. When you're away from home, commands travel through Remootio's cloud relay to reach the device.

### GateOpener: Cellular/GSM

GateOpener works with generic GSM relay modules like the [RTU5024](https://gate-opener.app/it/hardware/rtu5024/). When you tap "open," the app sends the correct SMS command over the mobile network. No WiFi needed. No internet needed. No cloud involved.

## Dove vince GateOpener

### Two to four times cheaper

EUR 30-60 versus roughly EUR 120 to EUR 140. According to European marketplace data, a 4G GSM gate module costs between EUR 15 and EUR 35. With the EUR 5.99 GateOpener app, the total investment is a fraction of Remootio's price.

### Cellular

According to [GSMA's Mobile Connectivity Index](https://www.gsma.com/connectivity-for-good/the-mobile-connectivity-index/), 4G LTE covers over 98% of the European population. No WiFi needed at the gate.

## Quale fa per te?

### Scegli Remootio se

- Hai buona copertura WiFi al cancello

### Scegli GateOpener se
