Gopher Protocol's Guardian Patch Location Technology Successfully Tracks Object Within 50 Square Mile Radius in First Live Testing Demonstration

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 20, 2016) -  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, announce that they have successfully completed the first live demonstration and testing of the Guardian Patch (the "Patch") location technology that works with or without GPS. The demonstration of the "GOPHERINSIGHT™" circuit prototype device, which took place in San Diego, California on September 14, 2016 between 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PT, proved range coverage of approximately 50 square miles. The Patch is a "stick-on" device that provides its users with the capability to protect and track objects, such as valuable personal belongings, children and loved-ones, and even family pets, through a mobile application. The demonstration of the Patch was completed in the San Diego area within a densely populated urban area. More than 1,000 active followers watched the live demonstration using the Guardian Mobile App.

The Guardian Patch's Demonstration Route

"Today we demonstrated our Patch technology's power and capabilities. We were pleased to provide the live public demonstration as part of our on-going mobile technology development sharing program. The Patch integrates key technologies and features to provide for an exceptional tracking experience and includes a new generation of truly portable and untethered devices which we believe are necessary in our modern world," said Company CTO, Dr. Danny Rittman. Dr. Rittman continued, "Our GopherInsight mobile technology provides users not only with connectivity and safety, but also with computing power enhancements and database capabilities compatible with our mobile world. We also plan to add a live demo portal to guardianpatch.com in the near future, which will allow live Patch viewing on Guardian Map applications."

The Patch prototype unit contains the Company's GOPHERINSIGHT™ integrated circuit technology. The Patch prototype consists of mobile units and base units. The mobile unit's real-time position is shown on the mobile app. The system provides an accurate location and progress presentation of the Patch mobile unit via the mobile map. The prototype system is currently reporting about the mobile unit's location every few seconds in order to test a real-time positioning system. The web-based program may in the future provide statistical information about the mobile units, including, but not limited to, travel distance, cities visited, travel time and more. This data would be used in the future to enhance customers' vital statistics for personal purposes. In addition, other electrical factors are measured and studied, such as electrical power consumption, transmission intervals, terrain and weather effects and more. In parallel, the Company is constantly enhancing and improving the system's software to handle large amount of mobile units and their coverage. Special attention is also given to human engineering of user friendly UI (User Interface) of the mobile application software and the web-based control program. Additionally, a robust database management system is being designed in order to manage large numbers of mobile units efficiently.

The Patch prototype, which the Company hopes will arrive in the consumer markets sometime in 2017, is a unique location technology that works with or without GPS. It is a stick-on tracking device that protects and tracks objects, from a phone to a laptop to a loved one or a pet, through a mobile app.
