Gatekeeper Systems Inc., a provider of video and data solutions based in Abbotsford, British Columbia, announced it has been contracted by a Tennessee school district to upgrade its entire bus fleet to the company's new school bus offerings.
All 390 buses will be equipped with Gatekeeper’s mobile Wi-Fi, mobile data collectors, interior and exterior video. The school district had previously installed Gatekeeper’s solutions on a portion of the fleet and the latest $903,000 order relates to the upgrade of the remaining fleet.
“As we prepare for the back-to-school season, parents and school districts alike are mindful of the importance of providing both a safe transportation environment for students as well as technology to help maximize learning,” said Doug Dyment, president and CEO. “Our video, data, and new mobile Wi-Fi solutions are very effective in these endeavors.”
Gatekeeper has installed approximately 40,000 intelligent mobile data collectors and 100,000 video devices on school buses, for more than 3,500 school district customers.
