Re: WSJ: Hytera and other brands banned by FCC


 

Hytera is now claiming that their equipment should not apply to this ban because it "isn't network equipment" and supposedly doesn't meet some bandwidth requirement in the law.? Last time I checked there are 10/100 Ethernet ports on the rear of their repeaters, capable of network connectivity over the internet - and their radios have data connectivity functionality.? Apparently they don't understand what a network is.

These days most digital radio networks are also IP networks and require the same or better safeguards than high-end corporate, banking, and government data networks use.

I saw one of the articles stated that Hytera was a supplier of Public Safety Radios.? I am sorry but anyone using Hytera for Public Safety or Mission-Critical communications is out of their minds.? Thankfully, to my Knowledge, Hytera has never offered P25 radios, which thankfully has mostly kept them out of the Public Safety market.? Hytera radios have mostly been used by businesses too cheap to buy a? higher-quality radio system.

Also interesting is that L3Harris has been re-branding Hytera radios for many years and offering them as their DMR offering.? I suspect that relationship will also end as a result of this.

Happy Thanksgiving all:

This just in from the Wall Street Journal:

The Fed?eral Com?mu?ni?ca?tions Com?mis?sion voted 4-0 to ban sales of new tele?com and sur?veillance equip?ment made by sev?eral Chi?nese com?pa?nies, ar?gu?ing that their own?er?ship and prac?tices threaten U.S. na?tional se?cu?rity.


The rule change af?fects 10 com?pa?nies al?ready sub?ject to other re?stric?tions and pro?hibits them from mar?ket?ing or im?port?ing new prod?ucts.They in?clude se?cu?rity-cam?era mak?ers Hangzhou Hikvi?sion Digi?tal Tech?nol?ogy Co., Hytera Com?mu?ni?ca?tions Corp. and Zhe?jiang Dahua Tech?nol?ogy Co. and tele?com equip?ment mak?ers Huawei Tech?nolo?gies Co. and ZTE Corp.?


How many of us are running Hytera DMR equipment?

Thought I would bring the news¡­
