AITX's RAD to Deploy RIO for State Emergency Services Department

Initial Deployment Follows Two Years of Collaboration and Rigorous Field Testing with State Emergency Authorities

Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - July 1, 2025) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTC Pink: AITX) (the "Company"), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), will soon deploy a RIO™ 360 solar-powered security tower at a remote, high-security installation operated by a U.S. state agency. This initial deployment was contracted through the state's emergency management division following an extensive two-year engagement that included long-term field testing and rigorous evaluation of RAD's technology.

The high-priority site presents complex logistical and safety challenges, including geographic isolation, environmental hazards, and limited infrastructure. RAD's RIO was selected after successfully demonstrating consistent reliability and autonomous operation in demanding field tests. As more public agencies seek independent, portable solutions for locations where traditional security measures are ineffective or cost-prohibitive, RIO is proving to be a compelling answer to this growing need.

A contributing factor in the agency's decision to move forward with RAD was the Company's successful completion of its SOC 2 Type 2 audit. This independent validation of RAD's internal controls and data protection protocols provided the necessary assurance for a client operating in a sensitive and high-security environment. For many government and enterprise clients, SOC 2 Type 2 compliance is a baseline requirement when evaluating technology partners for mission-critical deployments.

"We are honored to support this important mission," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and RAD. "This deployment is the result of a long-term effort by our team to meet the rigorous standards of a client that prioritizes performance, reliability, and innovation. We see this as a significant milestone, with the potential to open new channels for growth and further demonstrate RAD's unique capabilities in complex, high-security environments."

This initial deployment represents a strategic foothold with one of the most discerning clients RAD has engaged to date. The Company believes that successful execution at this location could lead to a substantial expansion of RAD's presence across multiple sites managed by the agency. Discussions regarding additional deployments are already underway, reflecting the client's recognition of RAD's ability to deliver reliable, autonomous security in mission-critical scenarios.

RAD invites government agencies, infrastructure managers, and security professionals to explore how RIO and its supporting technologies are addressing the challenges of remote and high-security environments.
