SmartGateway

SmartGateway uses AI-powered passive magnetic field sensor arrays to identify specific threat objects including firearms and bladed weapons. Rather than alerting on any metal object, SmartGateway measures field changes across multiple coordinates simultaneously and converts those changes into digital signals that its AI analyzes to compare against weapons that have been trained to build the AI model. When SmartGateway alerts, security staff receive a visual indication of a potential threat.

No. SmartGateway is designed for environments where individuals carry low volumes of personal belongings like phones, keys, and wallets. Individuals walk through SmartGateway at a natural pace without emptying pockets or removing personal items.

Walk-through metal detectors alert on any metal object, which means keys, belts, phones, and medical devices all trigger the same response as a weapon. SmartGateway uses AI-powered detection to identify specific threat objects rather than detecting metal broadly. The result is a meaningfully lower alert rate on everyday items, which keeps secondary screening purposeful and entry moving efficiently.

SmartGateway processes up to 4,000 individuals per hour with our new FastFlow software. Because SmartGateway allows individuals to move through at a natural walking pace without stopping or divesting, throughput stays high even during the compressed entry windows that define peak event arrival periods at stadiums, arenas, and live entertainment venues.

SmartGateway is designed for high-throughput environments where individuals carry low volumes of personal belongings. Arenas, stadiums, live entertainment venues, hospitals, and facilities running bag-free policies are the primary use cases. For environments where individuals regularly carry laptops, backpacks, and higher volumes of personal items, Xtract One Gateway is the appropriate system.

Yes. SmartGateway offers adjustable sensitivity settings that can be matched to the security requirements of a specific event or environment. Lower sensitivity settings are suited to lower-risk environments where throughput is the priority. Higher settings increase detection capability for higher-risk scenarios, with corresponding staffing and secondary screening infrastructure requirements.

Yes. SmartGateway is designed for portability. Each pillar can be mounted on a wheeled base and can be repositioned without tools. SmartGateway powers on and is ready for operation in approximately five minutes, making it well-suited for facilities that need to deploy security screening across different locations or configure entry points differently for different events. In addition, SmartGateway can be permanently secured to a fixed location.

When SmartGateway detects a potential threat, an avatar on the pillar’s guide screen red and an audible alert sounds if speakers are enabled. The Guide Screen on the console provides a visual indication of the alert, and the individual is directed to secondary screening per your facility’s established procedures. During secondary screening, staff can mark each alert as a confirmed threat or a personal item, building a documented record of secondary screening outcomes within the Divestment feature on the Console.

SmartGateway does not collect personally identifiable information and does not use facial recognition. SmartGateway collects operational data including throughput statistics, alert rates, and system performance metrics. This operational data is retained for thirty days or 30,000 walkthroughs before automatic removal. Multi-system analytics across multiple SmartGateway units require Xtract One View, the centralized cloud management platform.

Yes. Xtract One View provides centralized management of multiple SmartGateway systems from a single platform. Through Xtract One View, security teams can monitor system health, review alert rates across entry points, access historical operational data, and manage settings remotely. SmartGateway must have external network access to register with Xtract One View.

Yes. SmartGateway produces a magnetic field that is well below the safety limits established by the IEEE, FCC, and international health organizations. SmartGateway meets and exceeds IEEE C95.1-2019 standards for human exposure to electromagnetic fields, FCC standards, CE Mark requirements, and UL, CSA, and EN certifications. Staff working alongside SmartGateway throughout the day are within established occupational safety limits. Xtract One recommends that staff avoid leaning against SmartGateway pillars for prolonged periods.

SmartGateway operates below the recommended exposure limits established by the IEEE and the American Heart Association. No known safety concerns exist for pregnant individuals or children based on established international safety standards.

SmartGateway passageways meet ADA requirements for wheelchair access. For individuals using powered mobility devices, an alternative screening path is recommended to prevent potential temporary interference with mobility device motors. Individuals with implanted or wearable medical devices should follow their device manufacturer’s guidelines regarding proximity to magnetic fields. Facilities should establish and document alternative screening procedures for these individuals as part of their concept of operations before SmartGateway goes live.

SmartGateway hardware version 1.8 and higher supports both indoor and outdoor use. Earlier hardware versions are rated for indoor use only. For extended outdoor deployments, permanent securing of SmartGateway pillars is recommended to account for wind and environmental factors. SmartGateway is not intended for use in rain or snow.
