Strategic Partnership Brings Cutting-Edge Rail Solutions to UAE’s National Network

Gatekeeper Systems Inc. has unveiled a significant milestone, securing a major contract valued at approximately US$600,000 (approximately C$830,000) with L&T Technology Services to deliver innovative video and data solutions for Etihad Rail’s freight operations across the Middle East. This partnership represents a substantial expansion of Gatekeeper’s global footprint in the rail sector and underscores the growing demand for sophisticated digital solutions in transportation infrastructure.

The Contract Scope and Technical Delivery
