The extensive testing was completed by Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), the nation's largest university-affiliated research center, on behalf of the TSA.
SmartGateway’s TSA and APL verification signifies the system's adherence to documented specifications. The testing process encompassed a wide range of threat items, and scenarios, underscoring the product's reliability and performance across a broad set of applications.

The SmartGateway system unobtrusively scans patrons for guns, knives, and other prohibited items as they pass through the system. This solution was designed to secure large, ticketed venues to enable high throughput, using AI-powered sensors to detect threats without invading patrons’ sense of privacy and comfort.
