Metrasens, a leading provider of advanced magnetic detection technologies and the Platinum Award Winner in the 2017 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program  for Best Cell Phone Detection Solution, is pleased to announce the Proscreen 900 has been named a Finalist in the 2018 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program.

Security leaders have long faced the need for a detection system that could screen for mass casualty weapons at an extended perimeter, away from the queues and large gatherings of people.

Proscreen 900 solves these challenges by being a portable system that can be setup in any number of screening configurations for any variety of screening situations.

There is no need to incur costly infrastructure upgrades. As a matter of fact, Proscreen is entirely the opposite.

Weighing in at only 20 lbs, you can bring the systems to the desired screening location, arrange them for your screening situation, turn the power on and you’re ready to go.

No calibration or complex start-up procedure.

EXTENDING THE PERIMETER TO PROTECT AGAINST MAJOR SECURITY THREATS

The core benefits provided in Proscreen 900 are:

At just 20 lb., the Proscreen 900 can be moved to any location using the included base or optional wall mount kit.
