AITX's RAD Secures First Order from Major New National Dealer Partner

RIO 360 Order Introduces RAD to a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 Specialty Contracting and Facilities Services Leader

Detroit, Michigan, August 5, 2026 -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITX), a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that RAD has received an initial order for one RIO 360™ autonomous solar powered security trailer through a new dealer partner ranked among the ten largest security services providers in the United States. The order, placed for a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 specialty contracting and facilities services company, marks RAD's first business generated through the new dealer relationship. In keeping with the preferences of the parties involved, the Company is not disclosing the identity of the dealer, the end user, or the commercial terms of the order.

"This is a meaningful double win for RAD," said Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Security Officer of RAD. "We have opened business with one of the largest security services providers in the country and, through that relationship, earned an initial opportunity with a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company. The order begins with one RIO 360, but the caliber and reach of both organizations make this relationship far more significant than the size of the initial order alone."

Construction sites and large corporate campuses often present security challenges that fixed infrastructure alone cannot fully address. Work zones shift, access points change, valuable equipment and materials may remain exposed after hours, and expansive properties can create gaps across buildings, parking areas, storage locations, and active project zones.

RIO 360 combines dual ROSA™ units, 360-degree visibility, autonomous detection, visual and audible deterrence, and SARA™ powered response capabilities in a portable solar powered platform. This allows organizations to place responsive security coverage where it is needed as site conditions and operational requirements change.

The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team to learn how RAD's solutions can support their security and operational objectives.
