Toronto Pearson would be the first airport in
the world to purchase the HEXWAVE walkthrough security detection
portal to seamlessly screen for potential
threats
WILMINGTON, Mass and TORONTO, Feb. 21,
2023 /CNW/ - Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd.
("Liberty" or the "Company") (TSXV:
SCAN) (OTCQB: LDDFF) (FRANKFURT: LD2A), a leading technology
provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for
concealed weapons and threats, is pleased to announce it has
received a Letter of Intent from the Greater Toronto Airports
Authority (GTAA) to acquire the HEXWAVE™ for use at Toronto Pearson
International Airport, subject to further evaluation.
Toronto Pearson is located in Mississauga, west of Toronto, in Ontario,
Canada. It is Canada's
largest airport and the sixth-most-connected airport in the
world.
"As the first airport in the world to test HEXWAVE, we see the
potential benefits of utilizing this innovative solution as part of
our broader airport security program following further testing and
evaluation," said Dwayne MacIntosh,
Director, Corporate Safety and Security, GTAA. "We were impressed
with the HEXWAVE's seamless screening during beta testing and look
forward to working with Liberty Defense on the enhanced detection
the HEXWAVE would bring to the airport."
HEXWAVE uses millimeter wave, advanced 3D imaging, and AI to
detect all types of concealed metallic and non-metallic weapons and
other prohibited items – without having to divest common items. The
system allows for rapid, automated screening using a high
throughput, contactless, walkthrough portal.
"As airports continue to look at innovative ways to enhance
security, technology like HEXWAVE provides a flexible solution that
can be quickly deployed and moved to areas inside and outside the
airport," said Bill Frain, CEO of
Liberty Defense. "We are thrilled that the GTAA will be continuing
to work with Liberty Defense to bring the HEXWAVE to the Toronto
Pearson airport."
Several key members of the Liberty Defense team, including CEO
Bill Frain, have previously been
involved in the development and mass deployment of key screening
technologies that are commonly found today at airports around the
world.
