BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE ORDER NEW X-RAY SECURITY SYSTEM FROM IMAGE SCAN
HOLDINGS
Image Scan Holdings plc (AIM: IGE), a provider of real-time multi-view, x-ray
imaging solutions, today confirmed that its wholly owned subsidiary, 3DX-Ray
Limited, has secured orders valued in excess of £170,000 for its new portable x-
ray unit, the TPXi, all deliverable within the next 3 months. The orders include
units for the British Transport Police which intends to use TPXi to support
their fight against potential attacks on the British transport systems, such as
those seen in July of 2005.
The TPXi system, launched at Milipol on 22nd November 2005, is designed to give
the operator the greatest probability of detecting potential threats from
explosive, chemical or even biological sources concealed within suspect
packages.
Superintendent Phil Trendall, speaking on behalf of the British Transport
Police, commented:
`Our officers are in the front line protecting the transport infrastructure
against terrorist attack and it is very important that they have the best
equipment available to protect the public, help minimise disruption and keep the
rail system moving. The new TPXi product is one of the most advanced portable x-
ray systems available. Its exceptional image quality and robust wireless
capability are particularly important in terms of maintaining our ability to
manage the high levels of unattended items reported within the rail
environment. We believe this new capability will enhance significantly the
service we can provide the travelling public.'
Nicholas Fox, Chief Executive of Image Scan Holdings plc, added:
'Following on so rapidly from its official launch we are naturally delighted
with these initial orders, especially from such a prestigious customer as the
British Transport Police. These early sales signify another example of the
success of advanced x-ray imaging capability of our company, with the TPXi
system representing the latest tool in the fight against terrorism.
It is very encouraging to see that, at the end of our first quarter, orders in
the current financial year stand at over £870,000. This is in excess of the
turnover for the whole of the previous financial year and provides an excellent
start to the year.`
