VANCOUVER and ATLANTA, Sept. 30, 2019 /CNW/ - Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. ("Liberty") (TSXV: SCAN; FRANKFURT: LD2, OTCQB: LDDFF), a leading concealed weapons detection company, is pleased to announce its collaboration with TÜV SÜD America Inc. (TÜV SÜD) to ensure the HEXWAVE product will meet Wireless, EMC, and Safety standards for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada (IC), and European Conformity (CE) certifications.

Collaborating with TÜV SÜD in the development process through ongoing testing will help to ensure HEXWAVE meets FCC standards, which will enable faster development and the ability to meet Liberty's aggressive timeline to bring the system to market.

Liberty has completed the Tech Transfer and CRADA with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Lab (MIT LL) and has started the work with TÜV SÜD during the alpha phase to ensure the product meets FCC, IC, and CE requirements. Liberty is taking a comprehensive approach that covers all aspects of design, which involves Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Wireless, and product safety performance testing. Design changes identified during alpha testing will be incorporated into beta units which will undergo full compliance testing for submission to relevant authorities for certification.

Aman Bhardwaj, COO and President of US Operations, commented, "We have been focused from the very beginning of the HEXWAVE program to engage with FCC, FCC consultants, and MIT LL to design the product to meet FCC requirements. It is also vital to collaborate with TÜV SÜD, a global powerhouse in testing, certification, and knowledge services to eliminate equipment authorization risks and commercially launch the product on time. TÜV SÜD's reputation, global reach, local technical expertise, and in-depth knowledge of EMC, Wireless, and Safety testing for FCC, IC, and CE were key considerations for collaborating with TÜV SÜD America."
