The company is also developing BK ONE and BKRplay smartphone-integrated solutions for broadband and interoperability. Management aims to expand beyond its 90% wildland fire market share into Tier 3 public safety, targeting 10% market share from the current 3.6%. Capital allocation will prioritise reinvestment and software acquisitions, with shareholder returns considered only if excess cash is available.
