Xtract One Technologies Inc. announced its SmartGateway has been selected to protect all entrances at Amerant Bank Arena, Baptist Health IcePlex, and FTL War Memorial by the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League (NHL). SmartGateways will be deployed over the course of the next year at all entrances to increase security at upcoming events at these venues. Amerant Bank Arena is Florida?s largest indoor arena and the second largest sports and entertainment venue in South Florida.

Home of the Stanley Cup winning Florida Panthers, the state-of-the-art Amerant Bank Arena hosts hundreds of major concerts, events, and performance acts each year which attracts upwards of 30 million visitors annually. The selection of Xtract One reaffirms Amerant Bank Arena?s commitment to enhancing patron experiences with a modern-day security approach, ensuring minimized entry wait times and enabling fans to swiftly and safely access the venue. The Baptist Health IcePlex serves as both the official practice facility for the Florida Panthers and as a bustling hub for hockey enthusiasts of all ages.

It stands adjacent to the historic FTL War Memorial, which is currently undergoing extensive renovations for the upcoming War Memorial Auditorium event space. Both venues are integral to the Fort Lauderdale area, and this partnership with Xtract One signifies the commitment to prioritizing community safety while enhancing the overall patron experience.
