Rohde & Schwarz is set to strengthen passenger security screening across Thailand with its QPS201 millimeter wave security scanners, following an award to supply the systems to five Airports of Thailand (AOT) managed airports. The deployment includes Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, one of Asia’s major aviation hubs handling around 60 million passengers annually.
The QPS201 combines advanced imaging technology with AI-based detection to identify potential threats while supporting faster and more streamlined passenger screening. Designed with an open layout and a hands-down scan pose, the system displays potential threats on a standardized digital avatar without revealing personal attributes, aiming to enhance both security effectiveness and the passenger experience.

The QPS201 scanner model brings together advanced detection capabilities with efficient, intuitive procedures designed to benefit both passengers and staff. Using innovative millimeter wave technology and AI-based algorithms, the scanners meet regulatory requirements for identifying prohibited items while keeping false alarm rates low. The technology helps ensure that security measures remain both effective and user-friendly, improving the overall passenger experience. Passengers spend only a short time with a hands-down scan pose inside the security scanner, while any potential threats on their body are shown on a standardized digital avatar without revealing personal attributes. The system requires only milliseconds per scan and its open design and pose makes security screening easy and accessible for travellers.

The QPS201 achieved TSA qualification, approving it for use in US passenger security screening checkpoints and has achieved certification to TSA and European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) highest standards. There are more than 2,000 systems deployed in airports world-wide.
Airports of Thailand (AOT) appreciated the performance and accuracy of the QPS201 which provided faster security clearance and better passenger experience whilst enhancing security screening.
