HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 17, 2019 / Blockchain was the tech buzzword investors favored, but according to a new survey reported by Cointelegraph of 1,050 IT, security, and engineering decision makers at $1 billion firms, most of them are now investing in either AI, augmented reality, blockchain, or Internet-of-Things as part of their “digital transformation strategy.” Ninety percent said they were investing in at least one of the above technologies as part of their “digital transformation strategy.” Of that 90 %, 61 % of respondents claimed their firm invests in blockchain. While 72 % of respondents said their business is investing in Internet-of-Things, and 68 % in AI.

Looking at development plays with high upside in this growing space, Gopher Protocol Inc. (GOPH) stands out. The company has had an enormously productive first quarter. They marched out of March more like a lion than a lamb releasing their AI enabled app based on modern AI technologies including Deep Neural Network (DNN), vectorization and other advanced methodologies enabling usage for wide variety of applications. The company has followed that up this past week announcing it successfully completed testing on their Alpha version of its global mesh network technology platform GopherInsight™, which is the company’s IoT component. This is the kind of company those 1,050 IT, security, and engineering decision makers at $1 billion firms are starting to pay attention, so now would be a great time to start your research on GOPH.

Today we are highlighting: Gopher Protocol Inc. (GOPH), Phunware, Inc. (PHUN), Snap, Inc. (SNAP), Square, Inc. (SQ), and Western Digital Corp. (WDC).

Gopher Protocol Inc. (GOPH) (Market Cap: $64.296M; Share Price: $0.31)’s Avant! AI mobile app is synchronized with the Avant! AI web application (www.avant-ai.net) and is equipped with personalization and additional features to make it a handy artificial general intelligence (AGI) agent for the benefit of users. Avant!

AI searches for online information, sorting out the best answer and recording it under a personal account. The system keeps a history of any user’s question/answer data for future use and includes a search mechanism to retrieve previous topics.

The company’s GopherInsight™ global mesh network technology platform for both mobile and fixed solutions was tested in both laboratory and outdoor conditions, and all tests were successful. “We are glad to announce the completion of our MESH system, Alpha version. The system has successfully passed all lab and field testing as scheduled with satisfactory results,” commented Danny Rittman, Gopher’s Chief Technology Officer. “The tests covered essential topics that included hardware and software to ensure high performance and reliable features and characteristics.”

Mr. Rittman continued, “We used a mobile app to visualize results and to produce vital data like nodes/gateways range, GEO location and coverage area. The system was tested both outdoors and indoors. This data will be used to debug the Alpha version and initiate any changes or modifications that may be needed to produce a Beta version with the goal of ensuring commercial standards. We are already evaluating real-life projects to be a case study for our MESH system, which will use prototypes in real-life situations. The study will cover the system’s GEO tracking, emergency alerts and further advanced capabilities.” The next step to be taken by Gopher in this process is to optimize its Alpha version in order to proceed to Beta. Gopher is already evaluating potential projects as commercial application case study opportunities.
