LoRa would work nicely for small amounts of data where only a few bytes need to be transmitted. You will get a much longer range than WiFi, BLE and Zigbee.
The MultiTech LoRa mDots are supplied with a default firmware that supports AT commands. The mDots can be configured for peer-to-peer communication in a few minutes. Take a look at http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mdot-software/peer-to-peer/
The mDots have I/O ports - https://os.mbed.com/platforms/MTS-mDot-F411/
You can connect one mDot to the Gate controller and build a small battery powered hand held switch with another. You can write your own mBed firmware to both mDots - one for the handheld switch and the to toggle the gate controller to open and close.
