WEST MELBOURNE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 9, 2023 / BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE American:BKTI) (the "Company" or "BK Technologies") today announced that it has received its first purchase order for its InteropONE PTToC service from a large public safety agency in a top five U.S. metropolitan market.

InteropONE facilitates multi-agency incident response and mutual aid in planned or unplanned incidents such as large public events, disaster relief, criminal intelligence, and mass violence, where a lack of communications can slow or hinder the response. Incident command staff can dynamically manage PTToC communications from a smartphone, by "inviting" participants to engage in the incident. Invited participants simply need a smartphone with a data subscription to any carrier network. InteropONE is designed to enable all first responders to communicate regardless of which cellular network they use or PTToC service they subscribe to, or even first responders who do not subscribe to a PTToC service, providing interoperable communications during emergency and non-emergency incidents when no other communications platform meets the need.

John Suzuki, CEO of BK Technologies, commented, "Since launching InteropeONE we have conducted several field trials with federal, state and local public safety agencies, and this first service order is the direct result of a successful field trial. The on-demand, ad-hoc interoperability capabilities of our service provide value in the first responder market, seamlessly connecting unaffiliated public safety agencies in onsite communications groups. InteropONE allows users to initiate and participate in Push-To-Talk (PTT) group communications on-demand, with any smartphone device on any cellular service, in five minutes or less. We believe the capabilities of InteropONE PTToC will prove to be an ideal solution for addition for this public safety agency and others seeking emergency response group communications technologies."
