The Bureau of Land Management has been a longstanding customer of BK Technologies at both the federal and state levels, demonstrating their trust in our products to assist them in managing and protecting hundreds of millions of acres of land across the United States. In addition to adding our BKR 5000 radios to their fleet, the agency will also evaluate our new BKR 9000 multiband radio for potential use in their operations and we’re confident that the testing results will surpass expectations. We look forward to extending this relationship with the BLM and supporting them with the high-quality dependability and reliable performance of our portable communications technology in the remote and rugged geographies in which they operate.”
