Deployment of Xtract One Gateway Becomes Integral Part of Multi-Level Security Initiative

TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtract One Technologies (TSX: XTRA)(OTCQX: XTRAF)(FRA: 0PL) (“Xtract One” or the “Company”) today announced its Xtract One Gateway (“Gateway”) system has been selected by Manor Independent School District (“Manor ISD”) in Manor, Texas to strengthen security efforts. The initial deployment will take place at Manor High School, Manor Early College High School, Manor New Tech High School, and Manor Senior High School, with plans to expand across all the district’s 15 campuses at a later date.

This deployment contributes to the multi-tier safety initiative Manor ISD began implementing in Fall 2024. These heightened measures will bolster long-term security processes and operations across the entire district. As part of this effort, Manor ISD diligently tested several systems to find the right fit. After a successful product demonstration, Xtract One Gateway was selected as the district’s long-term solution for its unique capability to detect weapons among everyday school items, thereby addressing the district’s core safety concerns. So far, Manor ISD has deployed seven Xtract One systems during this first phase of installation. This will be further supported by plans to deploy an additional 11 systems at a later date, making Gateway a permanent component of Manor ISD’s ongoing and layered security approach.

“We are very pleased to be working with Manor as they continue to develop their broad strategy for creating a safer and more welcoming environment for learning,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One. “Our journey together started with demonstrations at the Moody Center in Austin and has now grown to a collaboration that contributes to their amplified, holistic approach to security that will benefit everyone in the greater community. Our Gateway system was created to address the exact challenges today’s schools face and will be an effective asset to Manor’s ongoing security-boosting initiative. For the broader market, we continue to be very excited with the momentum Xtract One Gateway is building across the education vertical, as demonstrated by the pace of schools choosing our solution.”

“In Manor ISD, we believe in our scholars’ rights to a high-quality education. A critical part of delivering on that mission is to foster a secure, supportive, and responsive environment that enables this type of learning,” said Dr Robert Sormani, Ed.D., Superintendent. “Our commitment to safety is ongoing. With Xtract One, we’re taking a substantial step forward in furthering our security initiative to ensure the well-being of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors who we welcome to our district today and in the future. As we continue the school year, we look forward to introducing our district to the seamless, effective security Gateway provides.”

Xtract One Gateway is purpose-built for weapons detection in medium-clutter environments, able to balance powerful threat detection and classification with unobtrusive and seamless flow for individuals walking through the security checkpoint. The system utilizes advanced bi-directional configurable screening and proprietary sensors to accurately distinguish everyday items in individuals’ pockets and backpacks such as laptops, three-ring binders, keys, and cell phones, from potential threats. This uninterrupted flow of movement minimizes the need for secondary screenings and bag checks, enabling quicker screening and entry processes. Gateway helps streamline access into and out of facilities up to four times faster than traditional screening methods, all while respecting individual privacy and maintaining the highest safety standards.
