Thousands of security industry, government, and public safety professionals convened in New York City Wednesday to meet with experts from industry-leading innovators at ISC East, the Northeast’s largest physical and IT security trade show to preview the latest in security technologies.

The annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program honors distinguished government and vendor solutions that deliver enhanced value, benefit, and intelligence to end users in a variety of government, homeland security and public safety vertical markets. ‘ASTORS’ nominations are evaluated on their technical innovation, interoperability, specific impact within the category, overall impact to the industry, relatability to other industry technologies, and application feasibility outside of the industry,” according to Tammy Waitt, co-founder, and editorial director of American Security Today.

“Receiving two AST ASTORS awards for our most recent software and hardware solutions is a great honor,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD. “We appreciate the recognition from American Security Today and look forward to the security and #PropTech industries continued acceptance and roll out of these solutions.”

The Company also noted that ECAMSECURE, a GardaWorld company, that distributes RAD’s AVA access control robot under their product name ‘Virtual Gate Guard’ was also honored with an AST ASTORS Award in the category Best Access Control & Authentication System. “It’s so rewarding that RAD’s first OEM client, part of the giant GardaWorld footprint, has been recognized for one of our solutions,” added Reinharz.

AVA (Autonomous Verified Access) is a compact and stanchion mountable unit that provides an edge-to-edge 180° field of vision with advanced access control over gates and other controlled points of entry. AVA takes full advantage of the RAD Software Suite providing an ideal solution for gated communities, logistics and distribution centers, storage yards, parking structures and lots, corporate campuses; anywhere that increased security and visibility is needed at a fraction of the cost.
