Knightscope Adds Three New Companies to Reseller Program

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Knightscope, Inc. [Nasdaq: KSCP] (“Knightscope” or the “Company”), an innovator in robotics and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies focused on public safety, today announces that it has closed 12 new contracts in 7 U.S. states for its K1B Emergency Communication Devices (“ECDs”) and related services. Deployment locations will span the United States across Arizona, California, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Texas representing diverse industries such as state and local government, universities and transportation.

The new sales are derived from both new clients as well as existing clients expanding their use of the Company’s technology and service offerings. 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 local geography and landmarks, thus being unable to give emergency responders an exact or accurate location over a cell phone. And with the recently announced service from Verizon Frontline, the advanced network and technology for first responders, users get priority access to cellular bandwidth to ensure the call reaches the right help in a timely manner.

The Company also added three new resellers to the Knightscope Authorized Partner (“KAP”) program - Clark Transportation Solutions in Phoenix, Arizona; Miller Solutions covering Arkansas and Oklahoma; and NEWCOM Global out of Boston, Massachusetts, with a nationwide client base. The KAP program provides access to Knightscope’s cutting-edge public safety solutions, including K1 Blue Light Towers and Blue Light E-Phones that feature voice connectivity, broadcast alerts, and area illumination capabilities, empowering them to offer the most technologically advanced emergency communication systems available. KAPs will be able to offer an expanded range of innovative tools to help clients improve safety at public facilities, reduce costs, and enhance the overall safety of their facilities.
