/PRNewswire/ --

The distribution agreement will provide airports with Optosecurity'

advanced EU standard products on Smiths Detection's existing

equipment

Optosecurity Inc., a leader in threat detection technology, announced today

that the company has signed a worldwide distribution agreement with Smiths

Detection, a world leader in the practical application of advanced technologies

for threat and contraband detection, to provide airports with its advanced EU

standard LEDS products.

For Optosecurity, this agreement means that thousands of Smiths Detection

machines from 3 different lines (HI-SCAN 6040i, 6046si and 7555i) deployed

across worldwide airports can now be upgraded to Type C performance without

the need to be replaced or change the layout of the checkpoints.

Type C systems can screen multiple liquid containers simultaneously when

displayed on a tray. The requirements are due to come into force after the

scheduled lifting of the current ban on liquids in hand luggage in the EU in

April

2013

.

Eric Bergeron, President and CEO, Optosecurity

, said "Today's successful

products combine the best in class hardware and software.

We are very happy that Smiths Detection, a world leading company for threat

detection devices, has decided to integrate our software to their market

offering as optional feature.

Optosecurity is extremely proud to partner with Smiths Detection, especially in

the current economic environment where airports capital expenses need to be

optimized and regulatory requirements are approaching.

Optosecurity and Smiths Detection together offer airports the opportunity to

comply right now with Type C performance, while keeping their existing

applications. It's a business case that can't be beat."
