Under the contract, the company will deploy eight high-speed CTX 9800 DSi and six compact CTX 5800 EDS at Cancun International, Cozumel, Veracruz, Villahermosa, Merida and Oaxaca airports.
The systems will be used for helping the airports improve their processes of baggage screening and enhance their operational capabilities.
Morpho Detection CEO Karen Bomba said: "Combined with a global service footprint, Morpho Detection’s CTX EDS give airports of all sizes the ability to deploy an automated checked baggage screening programme and increase return on investment (ROI) on security infrastructure purchases."
The high speed CTX 9800 is equipped to scan more than 1,000 bags per hour (BPH) enabling the airports increase baggage screening speed while raising fewer alarms.
