Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The ASTRO DIU provides an interface between an analog console and an ASTRO base station or ASTRO-TAC comparator for ASTRO clear and analog two-way radio communications. The DIU EMC is available as an option with ASTRO DIUs to provide encryption capability. The DIU will then support ASTRO encrypted two-way radio communications.
