Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) allow developers to produce just one app that is available across all devices whether that's a PC, Android phone or Apple iPhone. The actual app is just your chosen browser (either Chrome or Safari) which is generally more preferable for users than installing a proprietary app from a smaller company less able to keep up to date with security developments. Installing the https://iot-portal.com/app portal app is a slightly different procedure on an iPhone as it is on an Android. The first stage is to visit the portal app page: https://iot-portal.com/app Here you should enter your email address...

Here are the networks still available in Dublin (airport) for intercoms and gate openers (4G & 2G scanned) (2,"vodafoneIRL","vodafoneIRL","27201",7) Vodafone 4G (1,"METEORIRL","METEORIRL","27203",7) Meteor/Eir 4G (1,"3IRL","3IRL","27205",7) 3 4G (1,"METEORIRL","METEORIRL","27203",0) Meteor/Eir 2G (1,"O2IRL","O2IRL","27202",0) 3/O2 2G   No Vodafone 2G available!   No 3G networks scanned.

Whilst in Dublin Airport we fired up an intercom PCB and scanned a few networks here. This PCB has 2G, 3G and 4G radio access. The results are below. We see all three technolgies still available in the airport. This is to be expected as this will be one of the last places we see them shutdown. Elsewhere in Ireland we have seen at least 3G on Vodafone and 3 missing.

In the video Michael investigates if the 4G version of the RTU5024 and the '4G' G202 Plus gate openers can handle 4G calls. This will be required after the 2G/3G shutdown. The G202 Plus is simply a 2G unit with 2G internals.  The RTU5024 has the same modem as some AES Global intercoms and the same baseband chips as the £900 Videx 4K intercom so that should work right? Sadly they haven't configured their software correctly to enable 4G calling so that doesn't work either. For 4G calling on all UK and EU networks you need an LTE Cat1bis Rel13+...
