Evolv Technology announced its partnership with Belmont University. Located in Nashville, Tennessee, the university began using Evolv Express®? for weapons detection at its Curb Event Center Arena late last year.

Evolv Express uses sensor technology combined with artificial intelligence to differentiate between threats and the kinds of common metal objects people carry. The multipurpose arena, which can accommodate 5,000 seated guests, uses Express systems to screen guests attending basketball and volleyball games, concerts and other activities. The arena joins a growing list of performing arts, sports and entertainment venues in Music City that use Express to enhance safety and elevate the guest experience.

The Tennessee Titans have used Express for the past three seasons, while neighboring Bridgestone Arenabecame the first professional hockey Evolv partner more than a year ago. Opry Entertainment Group experienced the benefits of Express when the system was deployed at the iconic Grande Ole Opry. While Belmont is the first university in the state - and city of Nashville - to use Express, many school districts in Tennessee partner with Evolv.

nationally, the company's solutions are in more than 800 school buildings and screen roughly 600,000 students daily.
