 Garrett integrates its walk-through metal detector with the Rohde & Schwarz’ QPS201 security scanner. The combined solution is ideally suited for high-risk scenarios like prisons or loss prevention in the precious metals industry. Using cutting-edge millimeterwave (mmWave) technology, the QPS201 detects all types of objects, regardless of material. To bolster detection in high security screening scenarios, the Garrett Paragon walk-through metal detector uniquely complements mmWave detection by identifying extremely small or internally concealed metallic threats, providing an additional layer of security against hidden body-borne items.  Caption: The combined solution of Garrett’s…
