RealNetworks introduces MaskCheck Kiosk, the complete solution to keep your business or office safer by monitoring and encouraging use of masks

SEATTLE, September 15, 2021 — RealNetworks® (NASDAQ: RNWK) is proud to introduce MaskCheckTM Kiosk, a complete hardware and software solution to keep businesses and offices safer by automatically monitoring and encouraging mask usage. MaskCheck Kiosk is now available for purchase at https://getmaskcheck.com for the promotional price of $995.     

With the rise of the Delta Variant, wearing a mask in public spaces is again one of the most effective tools in preventing transmission of COVID-19. Indeed, many municipalities, including the states of Washington and Oregon, are now requiring individuals in public places to wear face masks. The reinstatement of these mask mandates typically places the responsibility on individual businesses and/or office employees to enforce mask policies.

MaskCheck Kiosks can be installed in minutes and replace most human involvement to encourage and assess face mask usage. The custom kiosks are powered by the MaskCheck platform from RealNetworks to help communities stay open and operate safely.      

“After launching our free MaskCheck app last December, we had many requests for a strong, reliable, and durable integrated MaskCheck solution,” said Rob Glaser, Chairman and CEO, RealNetworks, Inc. “MaskCheck Kiosk is that solution. It’s rugged and durable, battery powered so it can be used in any location a customer wants for a full day, and pre-configured with our easy-to-use MaskCheck app so that it’s truly plug and play. And with the rise of the Delta Variant, mask usage, especially in public indoor spaces, is extremely important and will likely continue to be for months to come.”
