eqo is an innovative solution to people screening. Using its unique flat-panel millimetre-wave technology, this body imaging security scanner offers state of the art imaging and detection capability within a minimal footprint.

The 3D scanning system provides a rapid means of detecting threat objects using its high resolution, real-time, full motion display. Acting as an electronically configurable lens, the panel scans a large cubic volume. This ensures that the person being scanned always remains in focus.

This ‘next-generation’ approach marks the evolution of millimetre-wave people screening from mechanically scanned to electronically steered imaging technology, which offers a reliable and easily serviceable system.

The combination of a small footprint with a reversible design means the body imaging security scanner can be easily integrated into any current checkpoint configuration.

The open plan design offers a positive user experience and facilitates ease of communication between the operator and person being screened. The remote operator is provided with a real time movie-like image of the person being scanned. The simple operation of the system provides a full all round view ensuring concealed items are easily detected by the screener.

Soon to be available product features include an Automatic Detection user interface that dispenses with the need for operators to review the millimetre-wave image. A standard video or graphical representation of the person being screened will be presented on the display and where concealed objects are located by the system software, a highlighting marker will be placed on the appropriate part of the graphical display. This feature will both simplify the scanning procedure and also speed up the overall process.



NBC demonstrates body scanner
