Rohde & Schwarz is proud to partner with Denver International Airport, one of the most rapidly growing airports in the world. Ranked in the top three busiest airports in the United States and consistently in the top ten busiest globally, DEN is an established innovation leader in security screening technologies.
In 2016, Denver International Airport’s leadership embarked on the mission of transforming the Airport’s security screening checkpoints and passenger experience with new screening technology as part of its Great Hall project in the Jeppesen Terminal. Originally designed to accommodate 50 million passengers, the Jeppesen Terminal saw more than 78 million passengers in 2023 and the airport projects that passenger volumes will top 100 million in the near future.
Denver’s airport leaders sought out innovative and high-performance security screening technologies for its future Great Hall checkpoints and identified Rohde & Schwarz QPS Ultra-high Definition (UHD) Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) as a critical element to transform their passenger checkpoint security screening experience.
Working with TSA, Denver became the first U.S. airport to buy and deploy Rohde & Schwarz R&S®QPS201 systems and working with TSA in February 2024, the new Denver Great Hall West Checkpoint opened and is the largest deployment of R&S®QPS201 systems in the U.S. to date. Next year, in 2025, the Great Hall East Checkpoint will open, also fully equipped with R&S®QPS201 technology.
Rohde & Schwarz R&S®QPS201 UHD AITs can be procured and donated to TSA through its Capability Acceptance Process (CAP) and as of October 2023, TSA is procuring and deploying systems to its checkpoint screening operations.
