Frankfurt Airport opened its sprawling Frankfurt T3 – a state-of-the-art hub built to handle 19 million passengers a year across three boarding gates.
To make sure everything runs smoothly, they equipped the new security lanes with Rohde & Schwarz millimeterwave scanners, 17 QPS201s and 2 QPS Walk2000s.
This isn’t just any terminal expansion. The Frankfurt T3 is said to be one of Europe’s most advanced airport infrastructures, with smart routing, digital services everywhere, and better public transit connections. Fraport, the operator, is laser-focused on security that’s both fast and effective.
The QPS201 scanner uses high-res millimeterwave tech paired with AI that catches prohibited items while keeping false alarms way below regulatory limits.
Security staff only need to check the spots that actually trigger alerts cutting pat-down time and boosting lane throughput without compromising safety. Over 2,000 of these are running at airports worldwide.
Then there’s the QPS Walk2000, which lets passengers walk through at a normal pace, no more awkward “freeze in the spread-eagle position” nonsense from old scanners. It slashes dwell time, keeps false alarms low with top-tier algorithms, and gives Fraport higher lane capacity with fewer secondary checks.
For passengers it shall enable quicker, less stressful security lines. All scanners carry ECAC, TSA, and national approvals, proving Frankfurt can blend cutting-edge tech with passenger-friendly flow. Airport security, done right.
