Most of the commentary on the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill focuses on IT systems, supply chain software security, and incident reporting obligations. Very little of it addresses what the Bill means for organisations running industrial radio and wireless communications infrastructure.
There is a widespread and dangerous misunderstanding about DMR radio in industrial environments. It goes like this: "We switched from analogue to DMR, so our radio communications are now secure." They are not. DMR is digital. Digital is not the same as encrypted. And under IEC 62443 Security Level 2 — the baseline target for most industrial sites — an unencrypted DMR system does not meet the standard's requirements for radio conduit security.
The IEC 62443 assessment report is sitting on the desk. Zone diagrams. Conduit maps. Security Level targets assigned for every SCADA workstation, every PLC, every firewall…

This is the handheld for organisations where communications are operationally critical. It is not just about voice. It is about protocol flexibility, better security, stronger situational awareness, better ruggedness and a radio platform that can grow with the user’s system. If a customer wants to buy once and buy properly, this is one of the strongest Kenwood options in the range.
That flexibility is the key sales point. In the real world, radio installations are rarely one-size-fits-all. Vehicles, plant rooms, gatehouses and control points all create different mounting and usability challenges. The NX-3720E / NX-3820E gives buyers a platform that can adapt to those situations while still delivering proper professional digital performance.
For many users, this model hits a very useful middle ground: it feels like a serious professional radio, but it remains practical to deploy because the accessory side is simpler. If your team wants a strong digital platform without moving into more specialised connector ecosystems, this can be a very sensible choice.
This is the sort of radio that starts to make sense when communication is no longer just a convenience. If your staff work across larger sites, multiple teams, or safety-sensitive environments, the benefits become clearer: better situational awareness, stronger audio, more control over features, and room to scale. The universal 14-contact audio connector also supports wider accessory and application options.
If your organisation needs a dependable professional radio without jumping straight into the highest-price tier, the Kenwood NX-1200 / NX-1300 is a very strong place to start. It is designed as an entry-level professional set, but it still gives you a choice of DMR or NXDN digital models, mixed digital and analogue operation,

It would be too simplistic to read this week as a LEO-only story. GEO and MEO may not have dominated the headlines in standalone fashion, but they remained present in some of the most strategically important developments. They were visible in Telesat’s financial structure, in defense-oriented architecture thinking, and in the Gilat-AWS-SES Space & Defense virtualization demonstration.
RoIP is a strong option when your main requirement is to connect radio systems over distance, support remote radio access, or build a more flexible radio network using IP infrastructure. It is usually a better fit than simpler telephone-style integration when the goal is radio networking rather than just connecting radios to phone users.
Connecting the world is a moral imperative, in our opinion. Recent figures suggest that less than half the world has internet access. Connectivity brings economic and…
