EU Radio Equipment Directive — Article 3.3(d)(e)(f) cybersecurity obligations effective August 2025. Applies to internet-connected radio equipment, including most edge AI cameras. VAOS provides architectural alignment so radio-equipment manufacturers can meet Article 3.3 with confidence.
"Radio equipment does not harm the network or its functioning, nor misuse network resources."
VAOS: rate-limited outbound, no telemetry-by-default, signed update channel, refusal to operate with default secrets, structured network policy.
"Radio equipment incorporates safeguards to ensure that personal data and privacy of the user and the subscriber are protected."
VAOS: local-first inference, raw-video minimisation (VAOS publishes meaning, not pixels), bounded local memory with policy-controlled retention, encrypted Scene Contract transport, no cloud upload by default.
"Radio equipment supports certain features ensuring protection from fraud."
VAOS: validation envelope on every action, signed action emission, audit-replayable decision envelopes, no unbounded autonomy in commercial-transaction-adjacent agents.
The harmonised standards giving presumption of conformity to Article 3.3 are the EN 18031 series. VAOS architectural commitments map to the standard structure:
If your product ships radio + camera + cognition, VAOS gives you the Article 3.3 baseline.
