AVA Group sells fibre optic security systems

Security and risk management group AVA Risk Group (ASX:AVA) has won additional orders for Future Fibre Technologies’ (FFT) perimeter detection systems from government clients.

The Melbourne company received orders worth $630,000 for FFT’s Aura Ai-2 platform which will be installed in sensitive US Government sites.

A second order worth $350,000 was for FFT’s SecureFence platform which will protect military installations in a South East Asian country.

The company expects to ship more than half of the orders in the current quarter.

Ava Group Chief Executive, Scott Basham said: “In a world of heightened security, our customers are looking to Ava to harden their security and improve their risk management processes.

“More than half of the value of the purchase orders are for upgrading sites protected by FFT’s legacy technology.”

AVA manufactures a range of fibre optic intrusion detection and location devices for perimeters, pipelines and data networks, biometrics, card access control and locking systems.

The company has installed 1,900 systems worldwide.

In October AVA reported revenue growth in the first quarter of FY2020 booking $9.9 million in sales.
