California Casino Renews for 6th Year and UC San Diego Adds More Knightscope Emergency Communication Systems

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Knightscope, Inc. (Nasdaq: KSCP), a leading developer of autonomous security robots and blue light emergency communication systems, today announced that one of the largest resort/casinos in the United States renewed its contract for 6 Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) to continue operating 24/7/365 at its southern California location for the 6^th consecutive year.

The casino’s VP Public Safety was previously quoted as saying, "Knightscope’s customer service is extremely responsive. They’re open to new ideas and always available when we need to discuss anything.” Casinos represent an ideal use case for ASRs where safety and guest experience intersect to provide a truly unique environment for success.

New Contract for 2 K1 Blue Light Towers

UC San Diego, another existing Knightscope customer, purchased two additional emergency phone systems to expand communication capabilities on campus. Knightscope believes that in order to prevent school shootings and other types of crime from occurring in our educational institutions, it is crucial to invest in a wide array of approaches that systematically create safe, healthy, and supportive schools for all students rather than just hardening access to them. Knightscope’s Blue Light Towers provide a familiar beacon to access reliable communications with public safety professionals in remote locations.
