Patriot One Technologies’ PATSCAN CMR (Cognitive Microwave Radar) concealed weapons detection system has met Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) regulatory requirements, as verified through a series of tests by an accredited 3rd party laboratory.
Meeting FCC and IC requirements is known to be a daunting challenge. Patriot One has worked relentlessly to identify, execute and address a lengthy checklist of FCC and IC technical requirements. Today, they are one step closer to delivering a certified mass-market version of the PATSCAN CMR in the USA and Canada. Now that the hardware development is finalized for certification, the company is proceeding with software optimization in preparation to meet the delivery commitments. The projected manufacturing run for 2017 is fully committed, and they are already booking sales into 2018.
Company sales efforts for the PATSCAN Cognitive Microwave Radar currently focus on markets including houses of worship, academic institutions, event centers, casinos, commercial offices, hotel properties, government agencies and other locations at high risk of terrorist attack. Orders have been received from locations spanning four continents, and new territorial opportunities are opening as reseller influence grows.
Patriot One’s PATSCAN CMR, Model CMR-005 has been issued provisional identifiers as FCC #2ALZTCMR and IC #22739CMR. These identifiers encompass electrical and mechanical certification for FCC15B/ICES-003, FCC 15.510, RSS-220 & ETI EN 302-065-1, CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1, UL 61010-1 V3 and 3.1. The verified data from the accredited testing laboratory will now be sent to Industry Canada and FCC for final approval.
FCC and IC certification is important not only in a North American context, but is also a key step towards the product’s attainment of certification and waiver/permit approvals in markets including the United Kingdom, Eurozone and Asia-Pacific regions, where key reseller partners are assisting in advancing the product’s certification and approval processes.
