Knightscope, Inc. announces 2 new contracts for its emergency communication devices and the Knightscope Emergency Management System (?KEMS?) software. A healthcare group in Minnesota specializing in mental health, substance abuse and treatment, and a university in Texas each purchased the systems to improve access to emergency services. Knightscope?s modern, blue light emergency phones and call boxes are also 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. Education and healthcare officials 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 Blue Light Towers 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. The KEMS platform allows clients and technicians to better understand the real-time health and status of deployed emergency communication devices and receive immediate text/email notification whenever a help button is pressed. The cloud-based application 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.

Alerts concerning issues, real-time error detection/diagnostics, and system performance statistics are delivered to the users to maximize system operation and usability.
