Fobi Announces CheckVax™ Deal With University of Nevada Athletics for Men’s and Women’s NCAA Basketball Teams
November 05 2021 - 7:30AM
Fobi AI Inc. Inc. (FOBI:TSXV FOBIF:OTCQB) (the
“Company” or “Fobi”), a leader in providing real-time data
analytics through artificial intelligence to drive customer
activation and engagement, is pleased to announce the Company has
entered into an Agreement with the University of Nevada Athletics
to provide Fobi’s CheckVax™ proof of vaccination. CheckVax™ will be
utilized to improve the customer experience by speeding up entry
and to keep fans, student-athletes, and staff safe at all Men’s
& Women’s basketball games at Nevada for this coming season.
Fobi will earn revenue on this deal through an initial setup fee
and monthly Wallet pass license fees.
The Lawlor Events Center, home to Nevada men's and women's
basketball, has a capacity of 11,500, so Nevada Athletics has a
clear need for a proof of vaccination solution that can enable them
to keep their fans, student-athletes, and staff safe and speed up
entry for the fans who will be attending the games.
Nevada men's basketball has made nine NCAA Tournament
appearances all-time, including exciting runs to the Sweet 16 in
2004 and 2018. The Wolf Pack women's team has made four postseason
appearances in its history, and reached the Mountain West
Tournament Championship Game in 2018.
Michael Turner, Senior Associate Athletic Director
at Nevada stated: “We are very excited to
announce this deal with Fobi. This will allow us to ensure a
top-notch customer experience and ensure that Wolf Pack fans can
get into our venue in the fastest and safest method possible so
they can enjoy the game.”
Nevada chose Fobi’s CheckVax™ solution over other solutions for
three key reasons. The first is that CheckVax™ is easy to use as
it’s App-less, using Wallet passes that live in the native wallets
that are embedded in every Apple and Android mobile phone globally.
The second key reason is that CheckVax™ passes are secure and
powered by Hedera Hashgraph public blockchain technology. The third
and most important is that CheckVax™ can verify vaccination and
Covid test results across multiple jurisdictions and regions in
advance, speeding up attendee access to the venue which creates a
far superior customer experience compared to other solutions. This
multi-jurisdiction and multi-region pre-verification is something
that other solutions are not able to do as quickly and as easily as
Fobi.
Fobi CEO Rob Anson stated: “With the continued
rollout of vaccine mandates across Canada and the US, we are
starting to see incredible momentum for our CheckVax™ product. This
deal with Nevada helps validate the fact that CheckVax™ delivers
both the best customer experience for proof of vaccination
pre-screening as well as increased revenue for venues.”
The deal with Nevada follows on the work that Fobi has done
previously with bdG Sports with Venue Management for March Madness
Basketball events. Fobi has also announced additional upcoming
events with bdG Sports, including the Baha Mar Hoops event in the
Bahamas that will be held November 22-27 in the Bahamas at the Baha
Mar resort with 19 NCAA schools attending, and the highly
anticipated Duke vs. Gonzaga game to be held November 26th in Las
Vegas at the T-Mobile arena.
