We stand to benefit from adding significant recurring revenues as we will manage the daily operations under this agreement.”

Under the program, Rapiscan Systems will provide complete operations of inspection sites utilizing x-ray screening technology. Rapiscan will incorporate staffing, systems integration, data management, and maintenance support at these sites networked throughout Mexico, including ports of entry as well as inland checkpoints and airports, enhancing the Mexican government authorities’ capability to interdict contraband, undeclared, and illegal materials.
