Interesting. I wonder if this was due to a request from certain agencies for anything exported.
Bingo. All of these technologies are controlled by ITAR.
I have zero doubt this was for clandestine use internationally and it was almost inevitable. Outside of a back-door there is no way you’re getting access to properly encrypted net with some of the higher end technologies.
ETSI isn’t controlled by ITAR. You’re on the wrong continent.
Sure ETSI are responsible for the encryption standard.
And Motorola is free to use that standard on radio handsets made with components of ITAR controlled items.
The use of any component controlled via ITAR will have the entire unit controlled.
Having used a Motorola product covered by ITAR on “the wrong continent” many times.
ETSI isn’t responsible for “the encryption standard” - they’re responsible for the TETRA standard. TETRA isn’t encryption - it’s a type of radio system, that has encryption as one small part of it. (I know plenty about TETRA - I’ve designed transmission networks for TETRA systems.) I’ve worked on DAMM and Leonardo systems, they’re completely European designed and built, there’s no ITAR regulations on them.
