Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
Danny,
congratulations on the recent successful first live test and demonstration of
the Guardian Patch. Can you tell us what object(s) you tracked and for how
long?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
We
tracked a car that I drove, travelling along typical roads and highways. The
LIVE DEMO took about 1 hour. During the DEMO I stopped at a few locations to
demonstrate the accuracy of the tracking system, in real time, if needed.
Q: Investorideas.com
This
first live demo was in a 50 mile radius in San Diego. Can you tell us the
challenges you faced in this demo and also what surprised you, if anything, as
you went through the testing?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
The main
challenge was to keep the real-time aspect. Although the final Patch will
transmit its location every certain amount of time (in some applications even
just twice a day, each application will determine the time interval), this DEMO
focused on real time response. We achieved amazing results by keeping
continuous, smooth tracking of my location at all times with intervals of about
10 seconds. One of my associates said: “Danny, you bring satellite from the sky
to the ground, so exciting.”
Q: Investorideas.com
Now that
you have done a successful tracking in a 50 mile radius area, what will the
next testing parameters include and can you estimate when and where that will
take place?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
The next
DEMO will be to cover a greater distance. Then once we complete this, we will
probably demonstrate the Guardian Sphere which is a local tracking device,
targeted for applications like tracking pets, kids…or any other object that is
not supposed to move.
Q: Investorideas.com
The
Guardian Patch works with or without GPS, so in your next series of testing will you show how it tracks in areas
without GPS capabilities? And on that note, can you briefly explain how that
works? How you can locate a person or object where there is no access to GPS?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
The
current system already has a partial GeoLocation mechanism. In future DEMOs, we
will demonstrate live tracking without GPS by simply blocking the
“eye-in-the-sky” access. This will be done by entering a closed location like a
tunnel or similar.
Q: Investorideas.com
The
Company is looking at all potential applications for the unique tracking
technology and just announced the development of the Guardian Sphere tracking
device, primarily created for the pet market.
Can you tell us what differentiates it from the Patch and how it works?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
The
Guardian Sphere is a local tracking device that can be used for pets, objects
and even children, team members at tradeshows, hospital patients, or any other
object that is not supposed to move (like hospital equipment, and similar). It
is targeted to track in a radius of 5-10 miles. With existence of similar
Guardian Sphere devices in the area, this range can be easily extended. This
tracking device includes similar technology aspects as the Patch and is targeted
for local operation.
Q: Investorideas.com
The
global pet wearable market is expected to reach USD 2.36 billion by 2022
according to some analysts. Do you see this as one of your biggest market
opportunities?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
Given
this estimated market share, I think that there is a great opportunity for the
Guardian Sphere since it is the leader in its domain. There is no similar
device currently in the market that offers such large range with the
possibilities of extension.
Q: Investorideas.com
So for
consumers and investors following the Company, what is the next phase of
development to expect prior to the official consumer launch of your products?
A: Danny Rittman,
CTO of Gopher Protocol
Inc.
Due to
demand, we are now focused on rapid manufacturing of the Guardian Sphere,
targeting Q1 or Q2 of 2017 to be available for sale. As the Sphere itself
“keeps evolving” as an independent product, I cannot guarantee the timing, as adding
features extends the development. For example, just lately we are thinking of
an additional light button for the Sphere. But in essence, the Sphere and
introduction to the market ASAP is our first priority. In parallel, we continue to develop the Guardian
Patch, targeted for later in 2017.

map area of recent live demo:
The Guardian Patch (the "Patch"),
potentially arriving in consumer markets in 2017, is a unique location
technology that works with or without GPS. The Patch is a "stick-on"
device that provides its users with the capability to protect and track
objects, a loved-one or even a pet, through a mobile application. Download the
Patch app, register your patch, and track anything that you own on your mobile
device or on our designated website. Register the Patches of your family
members and friends to receive alerts in the event of an emergency. Peel the
Patch off and the Patch acts as a beacon, sending out a signal and notifying
anyone who has registered the user's Patch.
Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH)
("Gopher" and the "Company") (http://gopherprotocol.com)
is a development-stage company developing a real-time, heuristic-based mobile
technology. Upon development, the technology will consist of a smart microchip,
mobile application software and supporting software that will run on a server.
The system contemplates the creation of a global network. Gopher believes this
will be the first system that is developed using a human, heuristic-based
analysis engine. Since the core of the system will be its advanced microchip
technology that will be capable of being installed in any mobile device
worldwide, Gopher expects that this will result in an internal, private network
between all mobile devices utilizing the microchip by providing mobile technology
for computing power enhancement, advanced mobile database management/sharing
and other additional mobile features.
