Texas-based Garrett Metal Detectors, in collaboration with CIS Seguridad, has announced the deployment of 19 PD 6500i walk-through metal detectors in 15 locations across Colombia. This acquisition by Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil) follows a competitive tender process won by Garrett.
The PD 6500i metal detectors meet various international airport security standards, including TSA and ECAC certifications. These detectors are commonly used in airports, hotels, government buildings, and major sporting events globally.
Garrett secured the contract partly due to Aeronáutica Civil’s previous positive experiences with the PD 6500i’s reliability, detection capabilities, and ease of use. The widespread adoption of the PD 6500i in airports worldwide is attributed to its compliance with numerous security standards.
Leo Zelenkevich, International Security Sales Director at Garrett, commented: “Garrett offers effective detection solutions along with remote management tools that enhance airport security checkpoints.”
The PD 6500i, combined with the iC Module for remote management and monitoring, is designed for airport screening environments. Its extensive certifications provide users confidence in the security of Garrett checkpoints.
