How does the GB-3 differ from the GB-1?
The GB-3 features a slimmer cabinet profile than the GB-1, reducing the footprint of each lane. It also includes end and middle cabinet reference lights for improved pedestrian guidance. Both models share the same optical sensor technology, motor system, and panel options.
