WidePoint Corporation announced that it has entered into a reseller agreement with BK Technologies Corporation, for the resale of BK's InteropONE PTToC (Push-To-Talk Over Cellular) service to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. department of State. InteropONE is the only PTToC (Push- To-Talk Over Cellular) service that enables operational interoperability to first responders through on-demand creation of user groups without requiring network pre-provisioning or gateways. Under WidePoint's single award Cellular Wireless Managed Services (CWMS) IDIQ contract, WidePoint plans to offer BK's InteropONE service to all DOS and DHS agencies including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Migration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), The United States Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S.Secret Service and others.

InteropONE facilitates multi- agency incident response and mutual aid in planned or unplanned incidents such as large public events, disaster relief, criminal intelligence, and mass violence, where a lack of communications can slow or hinder the response. Incident command staff can dynamically manage PTToC communications from a smartphone, by "inviting" participants to engage in the incident. Invited participants simply need a smartphone with a data subscription to any carrier network.

InteropONE is designed to enable all first responders to communicate regardless of which cellular network they use or PTToC service they subscribe to, or even first responders who do not subscribe to a PTToC service, providing interoperable communications during emergency incidents when no other communications platform meets the need.
