Vancouver, British Columbia – March 6, 2020 – First Responder Technologies Inc. (“First
Responder” or the “Company”) (CSE: WPN | FWB: 3WK) a developer of WiFi‐based technologies
to detect and deter mass shooting and terror attacks involving concealed weapons, is pleased to
announce that the Company, supported by engineers from VVDN Technologies Private
Limited, successfully completed a major milestone by demonstrating the world’s first WiFi‐based
walk through metal detection prototype at the UK Home Office sponsored Security & Policing
2020 conference in Farnborough, UK this past week (“UK Home Office Show”).
A video demonstration of the WiFi walk‐through metal detection prototype can be viewed at the
following web page: https://www.firstrespondertech.com/walk‐through‐prototype/
Attendees at the Company’s display booth at the UK Home Office Show, including security
professionals charged with protecting some of the world’s most iconic infrastructure, value
added resellers and systems integrators, received a demonstration of the device’s metal
detection and early warning functionality. The Company’s senior management anticipates that
certain requests for follow up commercial discussions arising out of the UK Home Office Show,
may lead to commercial sales as early as the end of 2020, pending the successful completion of
the Company’s alpha tester program, further research and development, and product
prototyping necessary to enable the launch of a minimum viable product (Beta) prior to the end
of 2020.
“While it still remains early days in the Company’s development, it is my sincere pleasure to work
with a gifted team of product development and engineering professionals whose remarkable
commitment to disrupting the global security paradigm with an effective, economical and easy
to install, WiFi‐based weapons detection technology, has resulted in these promising early
results,” said Robert Delamar, the Company’s CEO.
While the Company continues to meet or exceed projected product development milestones of
the Company’s WiFi‐based weapons detection system, the Company’s technology remains at the
research and development stage.
