Bedford, MA, May 23, 2008 — Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc., a developer of advanced security inspection systems, announced today that it has been awarded contracts with the Beijing Capital International Airport Authority and Chinese government Agency for CT-80 automated explosives detection systems (EDS) to be used for Olympic security.
The Reveal CT-80 was selected after receiving Certification from the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC) for EDS deployment in Chinese Airports. Government agencies around the world have chosen the CT-80 for explosives screening for aviation and event security at high-risk facilities. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) currently has over 200 CT-80 systems in use for checked baggage screening at 70 U.S. airports.

We are pleased that they’ve selected the CT-80 and that Reveal can support the Olympics and other security events in China. Our CT-80, the first-dual energy EDS in China, provides the Olympics the highest level of explosives detection with a system that’s been certified and proven by the TSA in U.S. airports.”
