AITX’s
RAD Introduces RAIA, the Security Tower You Can Set Up Yourself
Ships
in Two Parcels and Deploys in About 15 Minutes Without a Trailer, Tow Vehicle or Hitch
Detroit,
Michigan, November 9, 2026 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCID:AITX),
a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, today announced that its wholly owned
subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), has formally unveiled RAIA™ (Remote Autonomous Intelligent Agent),
pronounced “Rye Ah.” The portable solar powered security tower ships in two parcels and is designed for one person to deploy
in about 15 minutes, without a trailer, tow vehicle or hitch.
The
Company believes that RAIA positions RAD to compete for a greater share of the global mobile surveillance tower market, estimated at
approximately $1.5 billion in 2026 by The Business Research Company 1. RAIA’s compact design and simpler deployment are
expected to attract existing tower customers while bringing autonomous security within reach of organizations that have found conventional
solutions too cumbersome or costly. For RAD’s channel partners, the ability to ship through parcel carriers and deploy without
a trailer creates an opportunity to serve more customers across more locations.
RAD
is positioning RAIA as a lower cost alternative to conventional solar security trailers, adding a pricing advantage to its simpler shipping
and deployment. RAIA will be offered at pricing well below the typical industry standard for full-sized solar CCTV trailers. A ‘Founder’s
Special’ and early adopter special pricing will be available to the first users with pricing and terms to be shared publicly at
a later date. Deliveries are expected towards the end of calendar Q1 2027.
“Getting
security onto a property should not start with finding a truck and a trailer hitch,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO, CTO and founder
of AITX and RAD. “We designed RAIA to make putting security where you need it feel as straightforward as setting up a patio umbrella.
One person. About 15 minutes. When the area that needs attention changes, you can reposition the unit. That simplicity is central to
what RAIA brings to the market.”
RAIA
has two versions including a ground-standing version with a folding tripod design that can be bolted or otherwise secured to the ground,
with placement selected for visibility, sunlight and connectivity. The RAIA-P version includes pole mount equipment so the unit can be
placed throughout parking lots without taking up space and exposing the equipment to potential vandalism.
Once
deployed, RAIA combines four cameras providing 360 degree viewing with human and vehicle detection and SARA™ autonomous
voice engagement. Customer configured settings guide how SARA engages people on site, while image alerts sent to the RAD dashboard help
users see what triggered an event. On-demand live video and two-way audio allow users to check the scene, listen and speak directly with
people at the location.

RAIA’s
portable format supports a variety of security applications across multiple industries. For example, a construction company could position
RAIA near equipment left overnight, then relocate it as work advances. A property manager could place it near a vacant building’s
entrance or an area experiencing recurring trespassing. Logistics and manufacturing operators could use the same portable format around
equipment, inventory or access points that require additional attention. Site conditions and operating requirements determine the appropriate
placement and configuration.
“Before
arranging another security trailer, customers should ask whether the job actually needs one,” Reinharz added. “RAIA gives
them a practical reason to reconsider. It brings detection, autonomous voice engagement and remote access into a format they can deploy
themselves. We believe that can help our channel partners reach more locations and give customers who have found conventional towers
too cumbersome or expensive another way to put security to work.”
The
unveiling follows the Company’s October 30 preview of RAIA. RAD invites prospective customers, channel partners and security
industry representatives to request an online consultation or product demonstration at www.radsecurity.com/request-demo. Discussions
will address the customer’s application, placement, coverage, connectivity, pricing and delivery requirements.

Cautionary
Disclosure About Forward Looking Statements
This
press release contains forward looking statements, including statements regarding RAIA’s anticipated commercialization, final product
specifications and capabilities, pricing and potential rental savings, commercial availability, production, shipping and deployment;
expected security and operational benefits; potential customer and channel partner adoption; market opportunities; and the Company’s
ability to compete, expand its customer base and generate revenue from RAIA. Words such as “believes,” “expects,”
“anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “aims,” “may” and similar expressions
identify certain forward looking statements, although not all such statements contain these words.
Forward
looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially. These include, among others: changes or delays in product development, testing,
final specifications, certification, manufacturing, component availability, quality control, shipping or commercial availability; performance
limitations under actual deployment conditions; the Company’s ability to provide reliable service and support and achieve acceptable
margins at anticipated rental rates; competition, changes in competing offerings and pricing, customer budget constraints and purchasing
priorities; the possibility that customer interest and channel discussions do not produce orders or deployments; regulatory, privacy,
cybersecurity and distribution requirements; the Company’s ability to fund operations, production and customer commitments; the
availability and terms of financing and its potential dilutive effects; the Company’s history of operating losses and ability to
continue as a going concern; and other risks described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report and subsequent filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, available at www.sec.gov.
The
formal unveiling of RAIA does not, by itself, establish the commencement of shipments or commercial availability in every market. Final
specifications, pricing, configurations and anticipated shipping schedules remain subject to change. Delivery options depend on destination,
production capacity, inventory and carrier availability. Product demonstrations, customer inquiries and channel partner discussions do
not constitute purchase commitments or assure orders, revenue or commercial adoption.
References
to lower cost positioning and potential rental savings reflect management’s expectations and depend on final RAIA pricing and the
specific competing equipment and service package being compared. Rental charge comparisons do not represent equivalent savings in total
deployment or operating costs. Actual costs and savings depend on configuration, included services, contract duration, location, shipping
and other applicable terms and charges. Savings are not assured for every customer or against every competing offering.
References
to deployment by one person in about 15 minutes describe an approximate setup expectation, not a guaranteed installation time for every
site or user. Actual deployment requirements and timing depend on site readiness, user familiarity, anchoring, connectivity and configuration.
Comparisons to setting up or moving a patio umbrella illustrate the intended simplicity of placement and relocation and do not eliminate
the need to follow installation instructions and appropriate securing procedures.
References
to 360 degree viewing concern camera viewing coverage and do not imply continuous 360 degree motion detection. Actual viewing, detection,
voice engagement, alerts and remote access depend on site conditions, lighting, obstructions, configuration, operating workload, power
availability and network connectivity. SARA’s autonomous voice engagement follows customer configured settings. RAD solutions do
not guarantee the detection, deterrence or prevention of security incidents.
Market
size information reflects estimates published by a third party for the broader global mobile surveillance tower market, including solar,
diesel and hybrid systems. The approximately $1.5 billion figure reflects rounding of The Business Research Company’s $1.49 billion
estimate for 2026. Such estimates are subject to methodological limitations and uncertainty and do not establish the portion of that
market RAIA can serve or capture. Market estimates are not forecasts of the Company’s revenue, market share, profitability or cash
flow.
Forward
looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements, which
speak only as of the date of this release. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward
looking statement. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the
Company.
