MailSecur T-ray Mail Security Screening

Terahertz frequencies (THz) or T-rays are simply high frequency radio waves. T-rays are significantly more sensitive than millimeter-wave and X-ray systems for detecting low density materials like powders and liquids. Terahertz imaging has broad applications for non-intrusive security screening to detect hidden threats and contraband. While much research has been focused on the terahertz domain over the past several decades, RaySecur is the first company to pioneer widespread commercial applications of terahertz systems.

T-ray is non-ionizing and safe, while X-ray generates harmful ionizing radiation requiring specialized permits and licenses. A typical X-ray systems also uses hundreds of pounds of lead shielding to contain the radiation. In contrast, RaySecur’s T-ray systems contain no lead and are approximately 10X smaller than a conventional X-ray. T-ray provides dynamic, real-time, live video imaging that reveals concealed threats in motion, while X-ray systems produce static pictures. T-rays are also approximately 300X more sensitive than X-ray to detect low density materials like powders and liquids.

4D screening captures length, width, depth, and live motion, allowing operators to detect powders, liquids, and other anomalies that static images cannot reveal.

Yes. MailSecur uses safe T-rays that do not generate any ionizing radiation. MailSecur does not require any radiation barriers, special access-controlled rooms, or radiation safety licenses and permits. MailSecur can be deployed in any office environment and setup in minutes, just like a copier or printer.

MailSecur can detect all nine types of mail threats listed by the United States Department of Homeland Security. These include powders, liquids, weapons, electronics, explosives, chemical, biological agents, drugs and narcotics, nuclear and radiological material, hoax items, and other concealed threats and contraband without opening mail. MailSecur is the only all-in-one mail threat screening system.

MailSecur is used in a wide range of corporate environments including headquarters, office buildings, R&D facilities, data centers, manufacturing facilities, and other critical sites. It is also used by executive protection (EP) teams for screening mail in executives’ homes and in mobile settings. Government agencies, courts, correctional facilities, and law enforcement and public safety agencies also use MailSecur to detect concealed threats and contraband.

MailSecur complements X-ray systems and is often used for routine screening, with X-ray reserved for dense packages.
