Xtract One Technologies has announced its SmartGateway was selected for use by Bowie State University, located in Bowie, Maryland, to enhance campus security.
According to the company, the SmartGateway enhances safety across campus, including at athletic facilities and on-campus housing.
The initial deployment, which took place this fall, was made possible through Xtract One’s partnership with Core Secure LLC, a security solutions integrator and hardware provider.
Mark Cummings, Director of Public Safety and Chief of Campus Police, Bowie State University commented: “At Bowie State University, we recognize that advanced security measures are crucial for protecting our community.
“It’s important for us to foster a safe campus environment that still feels welcoming and conducive to a dynamic learning experience.
“Working with Xtract One and Core Secure allows us to stay ahead of potential dangers and enhance the safety and well-being of everyone who steps foot onto our campus,” added Cummings.
Peter Evans, CEO, Xtract One stated: “In a digitally transformed world, modern problems require modern solutions.
“This deployment at Bowie State University allows the school to leverage our advanced SmartGateway technology to better monitor the premises and identify potential threats before they turn into emergencies.
“We’re excited to work with Bowie State and expand our presence in the campus and school sector, to ensure that students can focus on their education and campus life without worrying about their personal safety,” concluded Evans.
The implementation of SmartGateway demonstrates Xtract One, Core Secure and Bowie State University’s shared commitment to proactively detecting and addressing campus security challenges and creating safer environments for the community that allow individuals to enjoy campus life, experience an optimal learning environment and have peace of mind.
SmartGateway discreetly and accurately scans individuals for weapons and prohibited items upon entry, enabled by AI-powered sensors that detect threats without the need for guests to remove personal items.
The system replaces traditional metal detectors for faster, reliable and unobtrusive screening as well as critical insights that maximize screening outcomes and improve campus security, Xtract One reports.
SmartGateway enables seamless passage through checkpoints and ensures uninterrupted flow of movement.
