Liberty Defense Holdings, Ltd. announced it has recently completed its beta testing of the HEXWAVE(TM) in the United States and utilized beta data and operational feedback to make system configuration and algorithm improvements. The latest beta trials were conducted at the University of Wisconsin for a major sporting event and at a US state capitol building. US state capitol employees and state representatives were able to proceed through the HEXWAVE walkthrough screening portal without having to divest common items like phones, keys, and wallets to improve overall security efficiency and experience.

The Company has screened approximately 10,000 people to date during beta trials conducted over the last several months with major international airports, a major US airline, Major League Baseball, one of the largest places of worship in North America, and at testing locations including Toronto Pearson International Airport and Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore. The HEXWAVE's core 3D video-rate imaging and Artificial Intelligence (AI) features provide enhanced detection with future proofing. Once the hardware is in place, the software can be adapted to new threats that emerge to evade current screening methods.

These AI software upgrades will be available as part of the commercial product release, along with future customer and vertical-specific customizations. In addition to patron or passenger screening, the Company continues to see increased customer interest in employee screening to mitigate insider threat -- a growing area of concern in security operations as unfortunate acts of violence create even more demand for protection using enhanced security applications in both the urban security and aviation sectors.
