Radio system SOMloq2

Secure encryption

The future-proof SOMloq2 radio control system offers maximum data protection against hackers thanks to 128-bit AES encryption with rolling code.

Repeating radio signal

The auto-repeat function ensures convenient opening while approaching the building. The output radio signal repeats in a certain cycle to permit optimal availability.

Feedback and gate position

The SOMloq2 bidirectional radio control system transmits radio signals in both directions. If the function is supported by the transmitter, the operator confirms receipt of commands or allows querying of the position of the sliding gate.

High radio range

An innovative hop function extends the range, as radio signals are forwarded from SOMloq2 receivers.

Also for existing SOMMER operators

Transmitters with the SOMloq2 radio control system are backward compatible with the Somloq Rollingcode radio system, making it possible to control existing operators and radio receivers.

Quick and easy installation
