In line with plans to modernise passenger security checkpoints, German airport operator Fraport has partnered with Rohde & Schwarz to install 100 new scanners.
The scanners, which will be delivered over the next three years, will be used both in existing security checkpoint lanes and new lanes that will be opened in the future.
Sascha Konig, SVP Aviation Passenger Process at Fraport explained: “We’re continuing to work with our partners to roll out our modernisation programme for passenger checkpoints at Germany’s biggest aviation hub. By using state-of-the-art technology we’re providing our customers and passengers with faster and more convenient security checkpoints, while maintaining the same high security standards.”
Rohde & Schwarz, will be deploying its EASA-approved QPS201 scanner model, which combines the highest level of detection capabilities with efficient and intuitive procedures that benefit both passengers and staff. The scanner uses innovative millimetre-wave technology and AI-based algorithms to meet all regulatory requirements for detecting prohibited items. It also minimises false alarm rates.
Andreas Hagele, Head of Microwave Imaging at Rohde & Schwarz added: “We’re proud to be part of this new model and to have gained Fraport’s trust. This is the continuation of a long-term strategic partnership that is beneficial for both sides.”
