Three Knightscope emergency communications clients scale up

Oct. 7, 2024
Counties in California, Tennessee and Virginia are scaling up their existing contracts with Knightscope.

Knightscope, Inc. today announces three new expansion contracts for its Emergency Communication Devices (ECDs). Counties in California, Tennessee and Virginia are scaling up their existing contracts with Knightscope to include additional devices and long-term ECD services provided by the company.

A northern California county is adding 25 K1 Retrofit Kits to replace a legacy competitive product. Knightscope’s Retrofit Kits allow users to upgrade outdated blue-light-style phones and call boxes to function like Knightscope’s modern, more advanced ECDs with features like wireless solar power, wireless phone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.

A Tennessee county client is adding a Full Service Maintenance Plan (FSMP) for its 10 K1 Blue Light Towers. The FSMP ensures high levels of reliability and up-time for these critical points of communication needed to summon help in a time of crisis or distress for all clients.

And the client in Virginia is adding a K1 Blue Light Tower, FSMP and the Knightscope Emergency Management System (KEMS) program to its agreement. KEMS 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, with text messaging and a real-time graphical map available as an add-on option. Bundling these features with FSMP ensures years of reliable, one-touch access to emergency services along with an elevated sense of safety for citizens and visitors.
