More secure screening

MMIC Solutions has made the first commercial shipments of the world's smallest millimetre wave receivers to security imaging customers in Europe and the US.

Rodger Sykes, MMIC Solutions' president and ceo, said: "The MSi200 series of receivers offers world class performance and we're delighted to have been designed in by several security imaging customers in the US and Europe. We see substantial worldwide growth over the next few years for people screening equipment based on millimetre wave technology". Millimetre waves penetrate most fabrics, enabling detection of concealed weapons, explosives and contraband.
