Can a keypad, intercom or smartphone control be added to a sliding gate I already have?

Almost always. Modern control boards have sockets for keypads, intercoms, badge readers and cellular or wireless modules, and an outdated board can be exchanged while the motor stays.

It suits a Jumeirah villa gate as well as a warehouse yard.
