BK Technologies' BKRplay Now Available in the Apple App and Google Play Stores

WEST MELBOURNE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 20, 2022 / BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE American:BKTI) today announced that its public safety smartphone application, BKRplay is now available for free download to owners of IOS or android smartphones. BKRplay hosts innovative public safety communications services designed for first responders, to help keep them safe and make them more efficient when they exit their vehicles during an incident response. BKRplay's first service, InteropONE was launched in mid-October.

John Suzuki CEO of BK Technologies commented, "InteropONE is the first service that delivers universal, interoperable, Push-To-Talk Over Cellular (PTToC) service to the public safety market, facilitating multi-agency incident response and mutual aid in planned and unplanned incidents. During day-to-day operations, federal law enforcement agencies often work closely with both state and local law enforcement agencies. Historically, establishing a common communications platform for each mission has taken days or weeks to set up and typically falls short of expectations. Since InteropONE's launch in October, a variety of federal, state and local agencies have conducted field trials and initial customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive as first responders experience the speed at which they can set up interoperable group communications. Communications platforms that took days to set up with previous services, now take five minutes or less to set up using InteropONE."

Joe Barasoain, Deputy Chief, Atlanta Fulton County Emergency Management Agency, stated, "We have used all the available Push-To-Talk Over Cellular services on the market today, and in our experience, InteropONE is the only service that offers the unique capability to create ad-hoc talk groups with any at-large smartphone user. We see this capability as a valuable enhancement to our ability to deliver mission critical public safety services to our community".

The Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management Agency is the lead organization responsible for providing management and coordination of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery activities within Fulton County. Responsible for covering 534 square miles and over 1 million people, the Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management Agency is a joint agency and the primary emergency management agency for Fulton County and the City of Atlanta.

"As we developed InteropONE, Joe was one of the first public safety industry thought leaders we reached out to. His observations and advice related to his experience in managing large-scale, emergency response and public events has been front and center in our development of InteropONE and we greatly appreciate Joe's participation and critical feedback," Mr. Suzuki concluded.
