MADISON,
Wis. and WILMINGTON,
Mass, Dec. 8, 2022 /CNW/ - Liberty Defense
Holdings Ltd. ("Liberty" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCAN) (OTCQB:
LDDFF) (FRANKFURT: LD2A), a leading technology provider of
detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, is pleased
to announce that it is commencing beta testing of
HEXWAVE™ on-campus with the University of
Wisconsin–Madison Police Department.
Beta testing will take place this week, with the HEXWAVE
deployed as primary security screening for a major sporting event
on the university's main campus.
HEXWAVE is a walkthrough screening portal that automatically
detects hidden weapons and other potential threats, including both
metal and non-metal items such as 3D-printed ghost guns, as well as
improvised liquid, powder, or plastic explosives. It uses
millimeter wave, video-rate 3D imaging, and Artificial Intelligence
technologies to detect potential threats, providing security
operators with a real-time, automatic go/no-go decision. Guests do
not need to divest cell phones, keys, wallets, or jackets when
passing through the system, providing a quicker and more seamless
security experience.
"University campuses welcome thousands of students, staff, and
visitors every single day, and play host to a wide array of
educational, social, sporting, and other events on a regular
basis," said Bill Frain, CEO of
Liberty Defense. "HEXWAVE has the potential to fill an important
gap for campus security teams providing a heightened level of
security and an improved student or guest experience. It offers
flexible and portable deployment, with the capability to
automatically detect both metal and non-metal threats, and other
items of concern."
UW-Madison was established in 1848 and is known as one of the
top universities in the country. The academic and athletic success
of the university attracts tens of thousands to the campus each
year, with 49,886 students enrolled for the 2022-2023 academic
year.
"We look forward to testing HEXWAVE to see how it could enhance
our robust security operations, particularly for large scale
events," said Kristen Roman,
Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief of Police at UW-Madison. "As
the first university to test the HEXWAVE system, we are proud to
have the opportunity to experience this security technology to see
how it could improve both the experience and safety at our
facilities."
As previously announced, the Company has engaged in effective
beta trials to date with major international airports, a major US
airline, Major League Baseball, and one of the largest places of
worship in North America at
testing locations including Toronto Pearson International Airport
and Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore.
