I was under the impression that it was installed at Paris CDG; if it isn’t the system is a dead ringer and is called RWSL
and you are correct, thanks . makes me look for the doc and I found it :

The RWSL system was deployed at Paris-CDG on the Northern inner runway (09R/27L) on the 24th of October 2016 and on the Southern inner runway (08L/26R) on the 23rd of May 2017 RWSL is a type of autonomous runway incursion warning system (ARIWS) as defined in ICAO Annex 14 aerodromes. Also deployed in the USA and in Japan, France participated, together with Japan, the USA and other worldwide experts in criteria harmonization, promoted by ICAO, to ensure worldwide and consistent operational use where implemented.
So my bad, it is not a pure US system and we are going to see more of then hopefully in the future., however I doubt it is cheap and will therefore probably be only restricted for very large airports I fear. .
