첥Ƶapp Receives $1.0 Million Purchase Order for BKR 5000 from Virginia Department of Forestry

WEST MELBOURNE, FL, September 28, 2022 / 첥Ƶapp Corporation (NYSE American: BKTI) today announced that it has received a purchase order valued at $1.0 million from the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) for its BKR 5000 portable communications technology. The purchase order represents the first order in the agency’s large-scale lifecycle replacement program, undertaken to transition to newer, more effective portable communications platforms.

John Suzuki, CEO of 첥Ƶapp commented, “The Virginia Department of Forestry is a longtime customer, and this order represents the agency’s first substantial order of BKR 5000 portable communications platform. Charged with responsibility for the prevention and suppression of wildfires, VDOF responders fighting more than 700 fires each year, protecting forests and property. The BKR 5000 is a durable and reliable portable communications technology, well suited to ensuring effective communications in remote areas, thereby helping to keep field personnel safe as they battle fires, respond to emergency situations and conduct controlled burns for forestry management. We are pleased to have this opportunity to continue to support VDOF as they undertake a large-scale upgrade to the BKR 5000 portable communications platform.”

The Virginia Department of Forestry was established in 1914 to prevent and suppress forest fires and to reforest bare lands. The agency oversees 26 state forests, with field operations in Western, Central and Eastern Virginia with its mission to protect and develop healthy, sustainable forest resources for Virginia residents and visitors. In addition to the prevention and suppression of wildfires, the VDOF also uses fire as a management tool, completing approximately 4,000 acres of prescribed or controlled burning to benefit Virginia ecosystems.
