First Responder Technologies Inc. a developer of WiFi-based technologies to detect and deter mass shooting and terror attacks involving concealed weapons, is pleased to announce that the company, supported by engineers from VVDN Technologies Private Limited, successfully completed a major milestone by demonstrating the world’s first WiFi-based walk through metal detection prototype at the UK Home Office sponsored Security & Policing 2020 conference in Farnborough, UK this past week (“UK Home Office Show”).

Metal detection

Attendees at the company’s display booth at the UK Home Office Show, including security professionals charged with protecting some of the world’s most iconic infrastructure, value added resellers and systems integrators, received a demonstration of the device’s metal detection and early warning functionality.

The Company’s senior management anticipates that certain requests for follow up commercial discussions arising out of the UK Home Office Show, may lead to commercial sales as early as the end of 2020, pending the successful completion of the Company’s alpha tester program, further research and development, and product prototyping necessary to enable the launch of a minimum viable product (Beta) prior to the end of 2020.

Weapons detection technology

“While it still remains early days in the company’s development, it is my sincere pleasure to work with a gifted team of product development and engineering professionals whose remarkable commitment to disrupting the global security paradigm with an effective, economical and easy to install, WiFi-based weapons detection technology, has resulted in these promising early results,” said Robert Delamar, the Company’s CEO.

While the company continues to meet or exceed projected product development milestones of the company’s WiFi-based weapons detection system, the company’s technology remains at the research and development stage.
