How Far Can a Wireless Gate Intercom Reach?

Installing a wireless gate intercom system is one of the smartest ways to upgrade your home or rural property — no cables, no trenching, just instant communication and control from inside your home, office, or shed. But one question we often get asked at Gatehouse Security is:

“How far will the wireless intercom actually work from the gate?”

Let’s break it down.

📡 What’s the Maximum Range of a Wireless Gate Intercom?

Most of our wireless intercoms at Gatehouse Security are designed to work up to:

✅ 300 to 500 metres in open, clear conditions

(Line of sight between gate and house, with no walls or metal obstacles)

This range is ideal for rural driveways, farms, lifestyle blocks, or homes set back from the road. The range depends on:

The model of intercom you choose
Environmental factors (trees, hills, buildings)
The position of antennas and devices

🌲 What Affects Intercom Signal Range?

Real-world conditions can reduce the working distance. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Obstacle	Effect on Signal
Brick/concrete walls	Moderate interference
Metal sheds/fences	High interference
Trees/hilly terrain	Some interference
Line-of-sight clear	Maximum signal strength

💡 Pro Tip: Mount your receiver and gate station high for best range. Avoid metal enclosures or placing it behind thick walls.
