Knightscope Accelerates Past Another $1 Million in New Sales, Renewals & Expansions

Key Terms

autonomous security robots technical

Autonomous security robots are self‑moving machines equipped with cameras, sensors and software that patrol spaces, detect threats, and sometimes alert human responders without needing a person to drive them—think of a roaming security guard crossed with a smart vacuum. For investors they matter because they can reduce labor and incident costs, create recurring revenue from services and software, and carry adoption and regulation risks that affect a company’s growth and profitability.

emergency communication devices technical

Devices and systems designed to send alerts and enable two-way contact during accidents, outages, natural disasters, or security incidents — examples include satellite phones, panic buttons, mass notification platforms, and alarm networks. Investors care because these tools keep a business operational and legally compliant during crises, protect reputation and customer trust, and can represent both a necessary expense and a potential revenue stream; think of them as a building’s emergency exits or a car’s airbags but for communication.

emergency communication device (ecd) technical

An emergency communication device (ECD) is a tool or system that lets people quickly send an alert and share their location or vital information when facing an urgent threat, like a medical crisis, natural disaster, or security incident. Think of it as a specialized panic button or smoke alarm for people rather than buildings; investors track ECDs because their reliability, regulatory approvals, and adoption rates affect product demand, liability risk, recurring service revenue, and a company’s reputation.

machine-as-a-service (maas) financial

Machine-as-a-service (MaaS) is a business model where companies lease or subscribe to use physical machines, equipment, and the software, maintenance and data services that run them, instead of buying the hardware outright. For investors it matters because revenue becomes recurring and predictable, capital spending shifts from buyers to providers, and profitability depends on uptime, service costs and the ability to scale — think of renting a car with fuel, insurance and repairs included.

autonomous security robot (asr) technical

An autonomous security robot (ASR) is a self‑navigating machine equipped with cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence that patrols facilities, detects unusual activity and can alert human responders or take predefined actions. For investors, ASRs matter because they can reduce recurring labor and liability costs, create new service and maintenance revenue streams, and change security spending patterns much like a self‑driving vehicle changes transportation costs and business models.

risk & threat (rtx) technical

Risk & threat (rtx) describes the identified possible harms to a business — how likely each is to happen and how much damage it could cause — combining both everyday risks (like supply problems or price swings) and threats (like cyberattacks or regulatory penalties). Investors use rtx as a compact way to judge how exposed a company is to setbacks and how well prepared it is, similar to a weather forecast that helps you plan for storms.

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), a leader in autonomous security robots and emergency communication devices, today announced that on the heels of the 2025 Letter from the CEO on establishing the nation’s first Autonomous Security Force, the Company has exceeded yet another $1 million milestone in new sales, client renewals and expansions.

Knightscope believes its recent sales activity reflects continued momentum and growing interest in the Company’s technology-enabled security solutions. Following a similar performance in the prior month, Knightscope expects this trend to support its strategy to expand adoption of autonomous physical security and emergency communication technologies across both public and private sector environments.

Emergency Communication Devices Continue New Sales Growth

Knightscope recorded 39 new Emergency Communication Device (ECD) sales across multiple verticals, including local government, higher education and healthcare in California, Washington, North Dakota, Florida and Virginia. The Company believes this diversification positions its ECD portfolio for steady sales results, as institutions continue to prioritize modern, integrated emergency communication infrastructure.

In addition, more than 60 ECD units had their maintenance agreements renewed across higher education and local governments. These renewals are expected to further support recurring revenue streams while reinforcing the durability of client relationships centered on mission-critical communication solutions.

Autonomous Security Robot Business Advances Machine-as-a-Service Strategy

Knightscope also reported progress within its Autonomous Security Robot (ASR) segment, with eight new Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) subscriptions sold and three new Risk & Threat (RTX) human monitoring premium accounts added. New client agreements included deployments across several solar fuel cell manufacturing facilities, a large urban mixed-use property and several commercial real estate locations throughout California and Florida.

These new ASR sales demonstrate continued market validation of Knightscope’s autonomous patrol solutions, which are designed to augment security personnel, improve operational efficiency and potentially reduce long-term security costs. Knightscope expects continued adoption of its MaaS offerings to further scale its ASR business.

Additionally, the Company achieved seven ASR subscription renewals across a range of industry verticals, including an enclosed mall, semiconductor testing facilities, and high-technology manufacturing, which supports the durability of Knightscope’s subscription-based revenue model.
