RIO 360 is RAD's flagship portable security solution, a solar-powered, rapidly deployable unit that delivers full 360-degree autonomous monitoring, detection, and deterrence without the need for fixed power or network infrastructure. The units are expected to support security operations across the end user's properties, with deployment anticipated to begin in the near term following standard site preparation and commissioning.

The Company believes this order illustrates the effectiveness of its dealer channel strategy, in which trusted security integrators and dealers introduce RAD solutions to their clients and manage deployments end to end. It also reflects the continued adoption of autonomous security technology by widely recognized organizations across entertainment, media, and other high-visibility sectors.

"Deployments like this expand the visibility of autonomous security technology and reinforce that RAD solutions continue to earn the confidence of some of the most recognizable names in the world," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. "This win is another example of what happens when great products are paired with strong relationships and trusted partners. We're proud of the work our dealer community does every day to bring RAD solutions to clients of every size and profile."

The Company noted that individual orders of this size are a routine part of its dealer-driven sales activity and are being announced as part of its ongoing effort to keep shareholders informed of commercial momentum across its product lines.

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.
