What other HF radio suppliers were at DSEI 2017?

HF radios were a major area of interest for conference-goers, with a variety of industry leading names from around the world participating.

What other HF radio equipment was displayed at DSEI 2017?

HF communications is an area of ongoing innovation as suppliers seek to refine the reliability of their equipment. Barrett Communications marked DSEI 2017 with the launch of their 4075 High Power HF transmitter – a liquid cooled amplifier which, when coupled with a HF radio transceiver, allows for reliable high power operation. This innovation is akin to the mantra that informs HAL in developing its own products.
