Company Providing Nearly 100 Units for Checkpoint Security at the Games

Astrophysics, Inc. (Astrophysics) today announced that it has been selected to provide X-ray scanners for the 29th Worldwide Universiade Games which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan this August. The company will provide ninety-four (94) XIS-6040 and five (5) XIS-1080D X-ray systems to help secure entrance checkpoints at the Games.

The Universiade Games are organized by the International University Sports Federation (FISU) and provide international athletic competitions for college athletes. Held every two (2) years, the 2017 Games will feature over a dozen sporting events including basketball, diving, soccer, gymnastics, tennis, volleyball and water polo.

“Astrophysics is proud to provide security systems for the upcoming Universiade Games,” said Francois Zayek, Chief Executive Officer at Astrophysics. “Astrophysics’ scanners are ideally suited to protect the participants and spectators, and we are excited to see the amazing athletes competing on the world stage.”

Astrophysics initially provided XIS-6040 scanners for the Games’ trials and demonstrated how effectively the units could secure entrance checkpoints. The Games’ organizers were so pleased with the trial demonstration that they then awarded the remaining contract to Astrophysics. The 29th Worldwide Universiade Games will take place from August 19 through August 30, 2017.
