Telefónica Tech links up Fermax door systems

Spanish door entry specialist Fermax has hired Telefónica Tech to run connectivity and managed services for its SIM-enabled video intercoms. Telefónica Tech will provide a managed IoT platform giving Fermax real-time, centralised control and visibility over its installed base, allowing the company to manage its fleet of connected panels from one place and plan new digital services.

The setup supports features like remote door opening via mobile phone and tools to make homes appear occupied by connecting residents to visitors wherever they are. Telefónica Tech already supplies 4G links to more than 27,000 Fermax panels with embedded SIMs. Fermax aims to pass 100,000 compatible installations by 2030, adding 15,000 to 20,000 systems a year from 2026, across Spain, France, Portugal and other European markets.
