Gopher Protocol (OTCQB:
$GOPH) Introduces Its Guardian Sphere
SAN
DIEGO, CA - September 21, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol
Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH)
("Gopher" and the "Company"), a development-stage company
which specializes in the development of real-time, heuristic-based mobile
technologies, and its partner Guardian Patch LLC, announced today that they are
currently ramping-up efforts for the release of their Guardian Sphere tracking
device, which is primarily designed for pets, but may also be used for tracking
children, adults, including the disabled, inventory, artwork, or virtually any
object located within an area covered by the device.
The
Guardian Sphere (the "Sphere") system is a derivative technology of
the Company's Guardian Patch technology. The Sphere is designed to provide its
users with local tracking capability using a re-chargeable/replaceable battery
source. The Sphere is an innovative tracking device that can easily be attached
to a pet's collar and then transmit real-time location information to the
smartphone(s) or website account of the registered owner of the device. The
Sphere has a replaceable battery and operates on the exclusive Guardian private
network which provides owners with the unique ability to obtain real-time
tracking information without the need for GPS, Wi-Fi or cellular service.
The
Sphere includes state of the art radio technology, a GPS system and micro
controller systems. It sends signals in specific intervals to report on its
location. The system analyzes the information using its proprietary, advanced
mathematical modeling software that precisely calculates the Sphere's location.
The mobile application then presents the exact location of the Sphere on the
map. An additional unique system feature is its own Emergency Alert system. The
user has the ability to transmit an emergency alert on his or her Sphere's
location, directly from the mobile app. All registered users located in that
Sphere's proximity will be notified about the Emergency and may notify the user
about the Sphere's recovery (which we fondly refer to as a "private
emergency alert"). The Sphere utilizes is a bi-directional system which
enables data transmission/receiving acknowledgment. It also includes error
correction protocol to ensure data accuracy. The Sphere has its own battery
source and may be plugged to external power using standard Android type charger
socket. The Sphere comes with its own ID. This ID is registered on the mobile
app to track the Sphere's location. Multiple Spheres can be registered on the
same app for multiple tracking. It is an ideal tracking device for personal and
commercial purposes for those seeking high-performance local tracking at an
affordable price.
The
Sphere represents the Company's entry into the burgeoning global pet wearable
market, which is expected to reach USD 2.36 billion by 2022 according to a
press release[1] issued by Grand View Research, Inc. in February 2016.
According to Grand View's press release, "Growing pet ownership coupled
with increasing per capita expenditure on pets is expected to drive product
demand over the forecast period." In addition, as stated in a press
release[2] issued by the Insurance Information Institute, according to the
2015-2016 National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products
Association (APPA), Sixty-five percent of U.S. households, or about 79.7
million families, own a pet, which is up from 56 percent of U.S. households in
1988, the first year the survey was conducted. The Company believes that the
above information suggests a significant potential market for the Sphere and
one that the Company believes could potentially benefit from the Sphere.
"The
current demand for GPS-based devices that are capable of providing real-time
positioning of our loved ones and valuables is fueling global advancements in
technologies which are enabling people to remain connected to the things that
they value most. In millions of households across the world, pets are beloved
members of the family. Our goal in developing the Sphere is to provide pet
owners with peace of mind through the use an invaluable recovery tool which
will enable them to track their pets in real-time should they ever become
separated," stated Company CEO Michael Murray.
In
addition to operating as a tracking device for household pets, the Company also
recognizes an opportunity for the Sphere to be utilized for tracking valuable
livestock on farms as well as animals registered as endangered species.
At
the time of this press release, the Company has not specified a release date
for the Sphere. The Company is committed to providing more definitive release
date information in the coming weeks and is targeting a release date of
approximately Q1 2017, of which there is no guarantee.
