Rohde & Schwarz security screening solutions

The new standard in people screening technology

Meeting today’s security challenges

From ensuring workplace safety to combatting shrink and organized retail crime to securing critical infrastructure, data centers, correctional facilities, property and assets, security challenges are more complex than ever.
What is clear is that modern security challenges require innovative, advanced and customizable technology solutions.
That is why security operations around the world are making investments in high-performance millimeter wave (mmWave) imaging technology, like Rohde & Schwarz R&S®QPS scanner solutions, to safeguard individuals and assets in today's ever-changing landscape - efficiently and effectively.
Until now, the screening of people for concealed items, threats, weapons and contraband was limited to labor intensive and invasive physical search and pat-downs and metal detection has been and remains the most widely used technology in security operations across a wide range of screening applications. But neither are able to deliver the performance needed in high-value, high security operations.

This is where advanced mmWave imaging comes in.

The public has been aware of mmWave people screening technology since it came into use in airport security checkpoint screening applications. Today, advancements in millimeter wave scanner technology allow high performance people screening to be implemented into a much wider range of applications beyond airport security to deliver fast, effective and user-friendly screening. Technologies such as the Rohde & Schwarz R&S®QPS scanners automatically detect even the smallest concealed objects of interest to support the high fidelity and high-volume security needed to address today’s security challenges in applications including Corrections, Critical Infrastructure protection, loss prevention / asset protection in manufacturing and distribution facilities, data center security, customs and border security, and event and VIP security.

Why millimeter wave (mmWave) security scanners

Utilizing safe, non-ionizing radio frequency technology, these mmW scanners automatically detect concealed on-person metallic and non-metallic objects, comprised of any material, for precise high-volume screening.
Extensively tested and evaluated by international regulators to validate their performance and safety, Rohde & Schwarz security scanners are installed at airports worldwide and have achieved certification to the highest detection and performance standards of entities such as the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and others.

They have also been used at high-profile events such as the Munich Security Conference (MSC).

Safe millimeter wave security screening technology

Rohde & Schwarz mmWave scanners are designed with safety in mind and pose no health risks to security operators or persons being scanned. Just like mobile phones or the radar sensors used in modern vehicles, mmWave scanner technology uses non-ionizing radiation, and their output power is a small fraction of that produced by mobile phones.
Unlike body scanner technology that utilize x-rays to detect concealed objects, mmWaves cannot penetrate the skin and are safe for pregnant women, children and those with medical implants.

High resolution people screening powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI)

High performance mmWave imaging technology makes precision security screening possible in a wider range of operations than ever.

Powered by sophisticated AI-based algorithms, R&S®QPS technology automatically identifies all metallic and non-metallic on-person concealed or undivested items including plastics, ceramics, powders and liquids.

With their high-resolution capabilities, R&S®QPS scanners can discern even the smallest of concealed items like small data bearing devices, banknotes, capsules and more.

That is why R&S®QPS scanners are being used at airports, manufacturing facilities, data centers, correctional facilities, nuclear power plants and government buildings to vastly increase their security with their advanced people screening technology.
