Philips ZODIAC WALBURN ← BVO-M
BVO is the abbreviation of Bundel Vercijfer- en Ontcijferapparaat
(Trunk Encryption Device).
For the ZODIAC defense network of the Dutch Army,
Philips developed two versions of the BVO,
both of which could run at a speed of 2Mb/s.
Keys are loaded by means of a
DS-102 compatible fill device, such as
the KYK-13 or KOI-18.
BVO-M uses a proprietary encryption algorithm developed at Philips.
It is backwards compatible with the earlier
1Mb/s Mucolex.
BVO-T has the same form-factor, but is compatible with the
American KG-81, allowing the integration of
ZODIAC with US and NATO radio networks.

At present, no further information about BVO-T is available.

Philips BVO-M and the American KG-81.
