BK Technologies Corporation (NYSE American:BKTI) (the "Company" or "BK Technologies"), 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 (or "FDIC"), taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana, from April 23-25.

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.

John Suzuki, CEO of BK Technologies, stated, "The BKR9500 adds to our next generation multiband platform and expands our opportunity to capture a larger share of customer spend as agencies transition from single band to multiband radios. Initial customer feedback has been strong, and we expect this product to drive backlog growth in anticipation of shipments in early 2027. With approximately one in-vehicle radio deployed for every two handheld units, we see a meaningful opportunity to expand our addressable market across existing and new customers as we better serve first responders."

Stephen Theisen, General Manager of BK's LMR Business Unit, continued, "FDIC is the premier gathering of key decision makers across the fire service in the U.S., making it an ideal venue to introduce the BKR9500. This radio was purpose-built to address real-world interoperability challenges that agencies face every day. By enabling departments to enhance their existing infrastructure, rather than replace it, the BKR9500 reduces cost and complexity and makes the transition to multiband systems more achievable."

Attendees of FDIC are invited to visit Booth #2107 at the Indiana Convention Center for a firsthand experience of the Company's robust communications platform, including the BKR9500.
