Three universities scale up Knightscope emergency communications contracts

Knightscope, Inc. today announces three new expansion contracts for its Emergency Communication Devices (ECDs) and other long-term ECD services provided by Knightscope. A law school in Vermont added the Knightscope Emergency Management System (KEMS) program for 2 of its K1 Blue Light Towers; a Pennsylvania university purchased an additional K1 Blue Light Tower; and a university in southern California renewed its Full Service Maintenance Plan (FSMP) for all Knightscope ECDs on campus.

Emergency communications play a vital role in ensuring a secure and enjoyable environment for everyone 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.

The addition of KEMS and FSMP will provide these universities with operational confidence for their ECDs, backed up by service maintenance support and software that includes 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.
