Xtract One Technologies has collaborated with American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, TX, in a partnership which sees its SmartGateway selected to protect all the banks entrances.

With a multi-purpose indoor arena and convention space designed for concerts, sporting events, professional and amateur rodeos, American Bank Center boasts a 10,000-seat indoor arena and a 138,000-square-foot convention center and is operated by Oak View Group.

The Center hosts a wide variety of live events – including music, sports, theater, conventions, weddings and private parties.

This three-year partnership with Xtract One says it demonstrates the venue’s desire to put patron experience at the forefront of live events, through venue security focused on delivering enhanced, streamlined and efficient technology that helps minimize wait times.

Replacing traditonal metal detectors

“At American Bank Center, we are devoted to cultivating all-inclusive, unmatched live experiences for everyone who visits the complex – no matter the event,” said Jeff Butcher, Director of Operations at American Bank Center.

“In partnering with Xtract One, we’re committed to enhancing security while allowing locals and tourists alike to fully immerse themselves in our state-of-the-art venue and variety of events.

“We look forward to working together to foster unforgettable moments and lasting memories for our guests right as the height of summer events kick off, as well as year-round.”

Xtract One’s SmartGateway system leverages AI-powered sensors to detect threats discretely and accurately, ensuring patrons’ privacy and comfort.

Replacing traditional metal detectors, the system delivers fast screening solutions for large, ticketed venues, maximizing throughput without compromising security.

SmartGateway unobtrusively scans patrons for weapons and prohibited items upon entry, enabling faster and safer access to events.

Complete peace of mind

“We’re excited to have American Bank Center join our growing list of innovative partners who value cutting-edge security and optimizing the entire live event experience for patrons,” added Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One Technologies.

“When visitors go to entertainment complexes like American Bank Center, they expect to have a memorable experience.

“We look forward to contributing to an even more secure, dynamic space that enables guests to fully immerse themselves in the live entertainment experience with complete peace of mind.”
