and that's fine in the scheme of things. Random one-off imports by researchers or hobbyists via AliExpress? NBD.
Deployments at-scale where vendor support engineers could theoretically use cellular gear for passive collection? Major concern.
Hytera being used for commercial 2-way radio? Similar concerns on the repeater side, not to mention questions about encryption quality if they are used by governments.
You have to name the vendor for commercial 2-way radio licenses, for USDA RUS funding, etc. Lying on those forms brings far worse penalties than what a random individual buying a Hytera DMR for ham use off Amazon would face.
Hikvision is the odd name here. AFAIK they do not make cellular handsets or base stations and were already prohibited from being used on government contracts.
Regarding Hikvision: I have a wide assortment of radio gear, and found cameras in our trailer park running on channel 12 and 13 unencrypted Hikvision ip cams.
