Rohde & Schwarz at International Security Expo 2024

August 28, 2024

Loss Prevention and a safe Critical Infrastructure with Advanced Scanning Technology

Rohde & Schwarz participates in the annual International Security Expo, taking place in London, from September 24-25, 2024. At booth D30 in the Olympia main hall Rohde & Schwarz will showcase its advanced scanning solutions bringing together reliable security screening and high throughput. They offer a versatile and adaptable approach to loss prevention and critical infrastructure security, using Millimeter wave (mmW) screening, a completely touchless, safe, comfortable and convenient security approach.

Effective asset protection and loss prevention are central to the successful operation of any business. On average, companies lose 5% of their annual revenue to employee theft. The protection of data and intellectual property is equally significant. The R&S QPS Walk2000 and R&S QPS201 security scanners from Rohde & Schwarz offer sophisticated solutions ensuring businesses can effectively protect their assets and operations.

The R&S QPS Walk2000 is designed with a clear focus on maximum throughput and minimal disruption. It allows individuals to pass through at a natural pace, eliminating the need for time-consuming procedures like shoe or outerwear removal. Capable of scanning up to 750 persons per hour, this scanner significantly reduces queues during peak times. It’s equipped with machine learning algorithms to detect a wide range of objects, making it highly adaptable for diverse loss prevention scenarios. The scanner ensures employee privacy by displaying generic, gender-neutral avatar. Furthermore, all collected data are protected according to the latest cybersecurity standards.

For businesses requiring high-resolution scanning, the R&S QPS201 offers airport-grade security. This scanner is already employed at airports worldwide and is certified by various supervisory authorities. It boasts a high throughput rate, protecting assets in demanding application scenarios like electronics production, the chip industry, banking, and pharmaceuticals, among others.

The protection of Critical Infrastructure (CI) is a growing concern, especially with the introduction of new laws necessitating physical security measures for critical infrastructures such as power plants, telecommunications facilities, and financial institutions. These measures require controlling access and monitoring to prevent unauthorized entry, which can lead to challenges like queuing, privacy concerns, high staffing costs, and operational complexity.

The R&S QPS series addresses these challenges by providing comprehensive screening capabilities, using cutting-edge millimeter wave technology to detect all types of objects, regardless of material. With the highest throughput rate on the market, it minimizes queuing during peak times, thus enhancing the security of critical infrastructure without disrupting operations.
