SPX Communication Technologies to Showcase Cutting‑Edge Solutions at DSEI 2025 – Stand N6‑130

We’re excited to announce that TCI and ECS will be exhibiting with Kranze Technology Solutions (KTS) for the first time since the acquisition in January 2025 at DSEI 2025. 

As global leaders in advanced defense and security technologies, we’ll be showcasing an impressive portfolio designed to empower mission success in the most challenging environments. Visitors to stand N6‑130 will experience our latest capabilities in:

🔹 HFDF (High Frequency Direction Finding) – Proven solutions for signal intelligence and situational awareness.
🔹 C‑UAS (Counter‑Unmanned Aerial Systems) – The BLACKTALON Ecosystem uses innovative technologies to detect, track, and defeat drone threats.
🔹 COMINT (Communications Intelligence) – Deployable in several form factors, advanced systems for intercepting and analyzing communications.
🔹 Tactical Data Links – Robust, secure data exchange to enable faster decision‑making on the battlefield.
🔹 KTS Products – high‑performance mission equipment engineered for reliability and integration.

DSEI is where the world’s defense and security community meets innovation, and we’re proud to bring our combined expertise and proven solutions to London this September.

📍 Join us at Stand N6‑130 to explore how TCI, ECS and KTS are shaping the future of defense.

See you at DSEI 2025!

One thing that set USTTI ’24 apart? Hands-on time with the latest in TCI’s Spectrum Monitoring technology.

From setting up field surveyors to running live signal analysis, participants gained real skills to bring home and implement.

Expect even more practical learning at USTTI ’25 – because the best way to learn more about Spectrum Monitoring is to do it!

📍 TCI Headquarters, Fremont, CA
📅 July 28 – August 1, 2025

Romania is stepping confidently into the future of electronic defense, and we at SPX Communication Technologies are proud to highlight the instrumental role that TCI International, Inc. has played in this milestone. On May 7, 2025, the School for Communications, Information Technology and Cyber Defense Training in Sibiu officially inaugurated its new Spectrum and GPS Signal Monitoring Laboratory. This cutting-edge facility isn’t just a room filled with advanced technology – it’s a training ground for the next generation of spectrum analysts, COMINT operators, and electronic warfare (EW) professionals.

A World-Class Collaboration

The laboratory is the result of a unique collaboration between Romania’s Ministry of National Defense (MApN), StarC4Sys S.R.L.; a 100% Romanian-owned company – and TCI International, Inc., one of the world’s most respected names in spectrum monitoring, signal geolocation, and RF intelligence systems.

From the initial concept to full execution, TCI played a pivotal role by contributing its Blackbird software suite, integrated into over ten high-performance workstations that now form the backbone of the training environment.

Why This Matters

In today’s operational landscape, control of the electromagnetic spectrum is as critical as control of land, sea, and air. The lab in Sibiu addresses this exact need: enabling real-world training in the identification, classification, and geolocation of RF signals – including GPS interference, using the same platforms relied on by NATO members and other global defense agencies.

“Success is the combination of cutting-edge technology and applied education. This lab offers exactly that mix.”
— Lieutenant General Cristian Daniel Dan, Commander of NATO Southeast Multinational Corps Command

Inside the Lab: Built for the Future

The laboratory is unmatched in Romaniaand rare even globally. It is equipped with:

• TCI Blackbird Software for live and offline signal monitoring
• Snapshot Radio for broadband recording analysis
• Integration-ready for TCI Spectrum Monitoring technology and BlackTalon C-UAS (Counter-UAS) solutions
• Ergonomic design, climate control, multimedia projection, and structured cabling built for long-term, adaptable use

Instructors can simulate live operational scenarios, track student response in real time, and tailor training to multiple experience levels – from basic to mission-ready.

A Gift with Purpose

This laboratory wasn’t built on a government contract or tender, it was a voluntary donation, initiated by TCI and StarC4Sys, to elevate the technical training environment of Romania’s military education system.

The total value of the donation exceeds half a million euros, but its real value lies in its impact – on education, on national defense, and on Romania’s ability to independently train and deploy skilled electromagnetic analysts.

“We donated this technology because Romania needs people capable of using it. These people become security multipliers.”
George-Cristian Ghimfus, Founder of StarC4Sys

TCI’s Legacy in Romania

This isn’t TCI’s first contribution to Romanian education. In 2024, a similar lab was inaugurated at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, serving civilian applications of spectrum monitoring. Together, these facilities create a comprehensive ecosystem for developing national expertise in electromagnetic spectrum operations, both civilian and military.

Looking Ahead

This is only the beginning. Future development plans for the Sibiu lab include:

• Integration of live signal acquisition systems
• Deployment of TCI’s BlackTalon anti-drone technology for C-UAS operator training
• Introduction of the Overwatch COMINT database for advanced signal intelligence operations

With these expansions, the lab is poised to become not just a national resource, but a regional center of excellence in electronic warfare training.

Conclusion

SPX Communication Technologies is proud to be part of a network that champions not only technological superiority, but also human development.  We are helping Romania train its future defenders in a world where invisible threats demand visible skill.

This strong and consolidated partnership will bring new opportunities in enhancing the security of Romania, along with raising the capabilities in electromagnetic spectrum monitoring in both military and civilian specific domain. This lab is more than an investment in infrastructure – it’s an investment in sovereignty, resilience, and global interoperability.

Stay tuned as we continue supporting projects that advance spectrum awareness, electronic defense, and national security.
