HEXWAVE to be Deployed at Major Bogotá Arena to Enhance Security and Detect Non-Metallic Threats

WILMINGTON, Mass. and BOGOTÁ, Colombia, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. (“Liberty” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCAN, OTCQB: LDDFF, FRANKFURT: LD2A), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, today announced the expansion of its international footprint with a new contract for the deployment of its HEXWAVE™ system in Bogotá, Colombia.

The system has been purchased by DASI Electronics S.A.S., a premier Colombian security systems integrator, and will be deployed at a major arena in the Bogotá metropolitan area. The venue hosts concerts and large public gatherings and has recently experienced an increase in violent incidents involving non-metallic threats such as 3D-printed weapons and improvised devices. HEXWAVE’s advanced 3D imaging and AI-powered detection technology will provide an enhanced layer of security to identify these emerging threats while ensuring a seamless and efficient visitor experience.

“This contract represents another important milestone in Liberty’s strategy to expand our international footprint and deliver advanced security technology to markets around the world,” said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense. “We are excited to partner with DASI Electronics, a proven leader in Colombia’s security industry, to bring HEXWAVE’s next-generation threat detection capabilities to this arena.”

Building on this successful implementation, Liberty and DASI are exploring opportunities to introduce HEXWAVE into other high-security and high-traffic environments, where advanced threat detection and theft prevention are key priorities.

“As global awareness grows around the risks posed by non-metallic weapons and improvised threats, security professionals are looking for scalable, AI-driven solutions that can keep people safe without slowing down operations. Colombia represents a key entry point for Liberty’s expansion in the region, and we believe this deployment will pave the way for broader adoption across Latin America in the years ahead,” concluded Mr. Frain.
