"During Fiscal Q1 2025 we continued to solidly advance the business and invest in our infrastructure in alignment with growth. We developed new technology, launched new products, expanded our customer base, and added personnel with specific industry expertise. These business developments are corroborative with the complexity and size of the systems and customers we are currently interacting with," commented Doug Dyment, President and CEO of Gatekeeper.
"We announced a contract with Lexington One as a worthy case study of how school districts are now choosing Gatekeeper for full-fleet school bus video technology upgrades that include Live View Wireless and Student Protector stop arm cameras. We also launched a Cell Phone Detection camera that uses video algorithms to automatically detect if a school bus driver is texting while driving. In our transit segment we are actively bidding contracts and increasing industry awareness of our NTSB-compliant solutions designed to meet the new FRA rule requiring image recording devices on passenger trains."
