BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE:BKTI) today announced that it is has received a purchase order valued at $315,000 from the United States Department of Defense ("DoD") for the Company's BKR 9000 multiband radio as the DoD adds capabilities to its existing fleet of radios.

John Suzuki, CEO of BK Technologies, commented, "We're pleased to expand our partnership with the Department of Defense as they expand their existing fleet of multiband radios with this order for the BKR 9000. The DoD's key requirements included a multiband, P25-compliant, LTE-capable portable radio, and following a competitive bid process, the BKR 9000 multiband radio, which is interoperable with existing P25 trunking infrastructure, was selected. Furthermore, BK Technologies' BKRplay services enable the BKR 9000 to tether to a smartphone running the company's InteropONE application, enabling cost-effective Push-To-Talk capability over cellular LTE/5G or WiFi networks when outside of LMR coverage. This contract is a validation of the performance and reliability of our technology, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with the DoD as they continue to enhance the scope and capabilities of their radio fleets."
