Investor presentation summary
12 Nov, 2026Investment profile and strategy
Public-safety communications portfolio serves first responders, military and public-safety agencies in all 50 states and internationally.
Strategy centers on shifts from single-band to multiband radios, in-vehicle to on-person connectivity, and interoperability across LMR and LTE/5G networks.
Manufacturing moved to long-time partner East West Manufacturing; the asset-light model is expected to improve working capital, reduce inventory and lower production costs.
Market and product opportunity
Estimated addressable LMR market is ~$2.3B, with BKR 5000, 9000 and planned 9500; estimated share is ~3.5%, with a 10% long-term goal.
Adding the US LTE/5G public-safety market lifts forecast TAM to ~$2.9B; that market is projected to grow from ~$571M in 2023 to ~$1.11B in 2029 at 11.6% CAGR.
BKR 9000 multiband radios support all P25 systems and frequency bands; Boulder County ordered 315 units to standardize 26 fire agencies on one platform.
BKR 9500 mobile multiband radio was submitted to the FCC in August 2026; approval is expected in early 2027, with launch expected in 2027.
InteropONE offers subscription-based, high-margin potential; a Tango Tango licensing agreement extends the software ecosystem to 1,500+ agencies and 35,000+ active users.
