Direct-to-Consumer Brand now available on
Amazon.com
Lake
Elsinore, USA -- August 09,
2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- IGEN
Networks Corporation (OTCQB:
IGEN, CSE:
IGN), a leading innovator of cloud-based and Internet of Things
(IoT) solutions for the protection and management of mobile assets,
today announced the availability of FamilyShield
through
Amazon.com, the leading e-retailer in the United States.
Amazon.com has increasingly become the first website that consumers
visit when they are making their buying decisions. Amazon's
algorithms and website works as its own search engine and with
millions of active customers visiting their website,
FamilyShield
gains
a large audience with American households.
American
roads are a dangerous place for young drivers between the ages of
16-19 years old, with 6-8 young motorists dying each day from
traffic accidents across the nation. During the last five
years there were more than 9M licensed drivers aged 19 or younger
driving on American roads. The average fatalities for those aged 19
or younger during this period has reached a national average of 1.5
per 10,000 young drivers.
FamilyShield
was
created to save young lives. Based on IGEN's Next Generation
Platform, FamilyShield
is
designed with the patented "Driver Signature" algorithms that offer
accurate measurement of a driver's behavior along with real-time
alerts on speeding, crossing of location boundaries, along with
providing a record of driving behavior over an extended
period. Designed to be tamper proof for the adventurous
teenager, FamilyShield
provides
peace-of-mind, security, and safety for families and their young
drivers.
"Licensed
drivers aged 19 or younger are the highest risk segment for
fatalities and injuries as reported by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. These statistics created the impetus
for a solution - what if we could reduce these fatalities by
changing the young driver's behavior? Whether it is speeding
or erratic driving, we can now offer a real-time assessment of the
young driver's behavior behind the wheel of the family vehicle,"
said Neil G. Chan, CEO of IGEN Networks
Corporation.
FamilyShield
is
based on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Infrastructure designed for
scalability, security, and performance. Now available to be
purchased on Amazon.com, the FamilyShield
Platform
operates with a self-installed plug-n-play unit for any make or
year of vehicle that is managed from a mobile app. Whether
the young driver is speeding or crossing location
boundaries, FamilyShield
creates
a record and sends notifications to family members of key events
including the attempted tampering of the unit. Compatible and
portable for any type of passenger vehicle, FamilyShield
data
is secure and private available
only to
designated family members. FamilyShield
is
available in the
US for online
purchases
on
www.amazon.com or
www.familyshieldtracking.com for a
one-time purchase of $129.99
including
the
plug-n-play unit and one year of service with no contract
obligation.
FamilyShield
includes
one year warranty on the
self-installed plug-n-play unit and
all related services.
