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.
Ah, yes. European radios made by European manufacturers to specifications created by a European agency primarily intended for use in Europe are, in fact, actually being controlled by the US. Am I understanding that correctly?
For sure. There are plenty of historical prevents for this exact situation. Makes you wonder why anyone would trust exported "secure" technology from America
