Thales Nederland B.V. designs and supplies radio remote control systems for use in tactical environments. 

BTC enables full-function operation of a tactical radio. Where two BTCs are cascaded, a distance of several kilometres can be bridged in encrypted mode. Depending on established local standards, Human-Machine Interface texts, type of field wire and accommodation of already fielded audio gear can be adjusted as required.

Where encryption is not required, e.g. in cases where the intermediate link is confined to a secure area, one BTC can be replaced by an HSM. HSM supports all remote control facilities of a BTC-BTC link, except encryption. The omission of encryption is balanced by a more cost-effective implementation, while maintaining full remote control of the radio.
