The series of positive announcements in recent weeks has led to the soaring of Patriot One Techno Com NPV (OTCMKTS:PTOTF) share price.The surge in the share price has been associated with an FCC go-ahead granted to the company for the commercialization of their software to the US market.Despite the pull back in the stock price over the first two quarters of 2017, the share price seems now to be rallying upwards as can be seen below: PTOTF Daily ChartOver the next course of this piece, we will take a look at the profit-making (upside) opportunities associated with purchase of the share for both short and long-term gains while also assessing the company’s strategy and the industry it is engaging in.However, let us first briefly review the company and its operations for the sake of first time readers.Patriot One Technologies: An OverviewPatriot One Technologies Inc, formerly Clear Mountain Resources Corp, was founded after a NATO-funded project at McMaster University. This was done in conjunction with Dr. Natalia Nikolova (a well-respected research scientist) who then researched on ways to commercialize a system to detect concealed weapons utilizing novel radar technologies and custom software solutions.The company has since positioned itself in the defense and security industry as a major player with the invention of the breakthrough technology: the PATSCANTM CMR technology. It prides itself as being the first company in the world to come up with such a groundbreaking invention with the vision of ensuring adoption of its product by the defense industry worldwide. The PATSCANTM CMR SystemThe system is the first-of-its-kind next-generation defense industry system. It uses Cognitive Microarray Radar to detect weapons on active shooters therefore combating active shootings before they occur. Moreover, its “cognitive” ability to learn and become better at detecting weapons as a result of the use of machine learning algorithms has made it one to behold.PTOTF has recently received licensing by the FCC to commercially roll-out its PATSCAN software. With the firm targeting institutions such as schools, government buildings and businesses in the roll-out process, approval by the FCC goes a long way in ensuring their revenue streams are solidified in the long term.Governor Tom Ridge, first U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and a member of the Patriot One Advisory Board said:
“This is an important milestone for the Patriot One team for which they should be proud. I very much look forward to seeing the rollout of this game-changing technology across the United States and to supporting their efforts to improve public safety.”
Source:This licensing is in addition to the license they obtained in Canada which has also opened the new market to them. The company’s Chief Technology officer, Dinesh Kandanchatha, stated during the receipt of the license that:
“This is a momentous occasion for us. We now hold both FCC and Industry Canada (IC) certification allowing us to move into commercial roll-out across North America, with other countries soon to follow. The next stage of this exciting journey now begins with select deployments with key early adopters. Our system, which relies on machine learning algorithms, has graduated from the lab and is about to enter the arena of commercial distribution.”
Source:It hasn’t taken long for early adopters to get onboard with the Bal Harbour JCC being among the first firms to adopt this new technology. This came in the wake of a bomb scare in one of their compounds, a factor which drove them to seeking more ergonomic measures of detecting active shooters and terrorists prior to deployment.PTOFT is currently very hopeful of growth as it establishes itself in an over $706 billion industry.
