BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE American: BKTI) today announced that it has received a purchase order for 87 of its BKR 9000 multiband radios from the Arkansas Department of Agriculture’s Forestry Division. The BKR 9000 is compatible with Arkansas’s P25 system, allowing the Forestry Division to significantly enhance efficiency by carrying out their responsibilities using a single radio model across all operations. This is the Forestry Division’s first purchase of the BKR 9000.


John Suzuki, CEO of BK Technologies, commented, “The Arkansas Department of Agriculture’s Forestry Division is responsible for the protection of all Arkansas’s forests from wildland fire and other natural hazards. Our BKR 9000 multiband radio provides the Department with a single radio that can be used for wildland fire operations and is compatible with Arkansas’s statewide P25 trunked system. We believe their selection of the BKR 9000 is a validation of its unique operational capabilities, reliability, and effectiveness in mission critical situations and we look forward to supporting the Arkansas Department of Agriculture in their forestry and emergency response efforts.”


The Arkansas Department of Agriculture Forestry Division is responsible for the protection of forests, and those who enjoy them, from wildland fire and natural hazards while promoting rural and urban forest health, stewardship, development, and conservation.
