BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE:BKTI) shares gained Tuesday. The West Melbourne, Fla.-based company a provider of advanced public safety communications solutions, today announces it will showcase its highly anticipated BKR9500 Multiband Mobile radio at the upcoming Fire Department Instructors Conference, taking place in Indianapolis later this week.
FDIC is a premier event within the fire and rescue industry, drawing key public safety decision-makers from across the country. As the companion in-vehicle mobile radio to the BKR9000 portable handheld radio, the BKR9500 builds on the Company's BKR series, delivering true multiband performance designed to improve interoperability across agencies at a budget-conscious price point.
The Company expects the BKR9500 showcase to drive early customer engagement and initial order activity, supporting backlog growth, especially with the Company's existing customer base. The BKR9500 provides a direct upgrade path from the widely deployed KNG Series P25 single-band mobile radio and supports a seamless transition to multiband systems with minimal operational disruption.
By enabling agencies to standardize handheld and in-vehicle devices on a single platform, the BKR9500 reduces deployment complexity and lowers implementation risk, facilitating broader adoption across both existing customers and new accounts.
BKTI shares poked ahead $1.86, or 2%, Tuesday to $95.50.
