Knightscope Secures New Contracts in Education and Healthcare

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–August 19, 2024–Knightscope, Inc. [NASDAQ:KSCP] (“Knightscope” or the “Company”), an innovator in robotics and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies focused on public safety, today announces two new contracts for its Emergency Communication Devices (“ECDs”). An existing client – a private Episcopal school in southern California – is expanding their system with the additional of another K1 Blue Light Tower and a Full Service Maintenance Plan (“FSMP”); and a Knightscope Authorized Partner (“KAP”), City Wide Solutions – an electrical integrator that has multiple customers in the Ohio area – is upgrading existing Blue Light Towers on healthcare clinic campuses with Knightscope’s K1 Retrofit Kits.

Knightscope’s modern, blue light ECDs are the key to curing an overconfident dependence on cell phones. Many people may not have (or simply may not be carrying) a cell phone, the cell phone’s battery may be down, or there may be no signal in the area. Similarly, it is possible that visitors who find themselves in need of assistance may not be familiar with campus geography and landmarks, thus being unable to give emergency responders an exact or accurate location over a cell phone.

Knightscope’s Retrofit Kits allow users to upgrade outdated blue-light-style phones and call boxes to function like Knightscope’s modern, more advanced ECDs with features like wireless solar power, wireless phone connectivity, and self-monitoring software all built in. Additionally, the Knightscope Emergency Management System (“KEMS”) program provides system owners automated daily email reports on the operational status of their system rather than having to manually test each device in person as required by competitive products. Text messaging and a real-time graphical map are available as an add-on option.

Education and healthcare administrators alike prioritize campus safety to ensure a secure and enjoyable environment for students, faculty, patients, providers and visitors. Emergency communications play a vital role in that mission by providing an extra layer of protection with reliable, one-touch access to services such as police, fire and EMS. K1 ECDs are conveniently placed to provide a direct communication portal in times of danger, personal crisis, medical emergencies, to report suspicious behavior or activities, or for accidents.
