S3 Ep. 7 Modernizing Perimeter and Gate Access for Multifamily
Published November 2025
In this episode of Solving for Multifamily, host Robert Gaulden speaks with Joe Summers, former CRO of Gatewise, about modernizing perimeter and gate access with a mobile-first approach. Joe explains how retrofitting existing gates and perimeter systems to connect with a smartphone-based platform delivers a low-disruption, cost-effective upgrade that improves resident convenience and reduces key and fob management for property teams.
You’ll also hear how Gatewise extends the same mobile credential model to amenity spaces, common areas, and even individual units, and how that approach has driven roughly 95% resident adoption where deployed. The conversation closes with practical insights on operational benefits for multifamily operators and how these solutions translate to adjacent markets like self-storage.
Who is Joe Summers? Joe Summers — former Chief Revenue Officer, Gatewise; now part of Allegion after Gatewise's acquisition. Joe led growth for Gatewise and brings hands-on experience deploying mobile-first access solutions across multifamily and self-storage markets.
