Chaque région peut communiquer avec le siège de [company name] au moyen d’une radion (B.L.U) pendant les heures ouvrables.
Have drawn a bit of a blank on this. Not sure if 'radion' is a typo for 'radio' or whether it is short for 'radionavigant' (radio officer, hence an actual person, although I get the impression that this is just referring to a piece of equipment). I suppose it could be some sort of CB radio type thing (?). This is to do with providing security on tobacco farms in Africa where crime is rife. I googled the B.L.U. but drew a blank there... could be a security firm I guess. Am still researching this, but if anyone could help with 'radion' in the meantime, I would be most grateful. Many thanks.

Single side band radio
or SSB radio
BLU means "bande latérale unique" (or single side band) and I suspect that "radion" is indeed a typo.

"A single side-band electrical information-transmission system is described in which the correct oscillator frequency for demodulation in the receiver is achieved by attenuating a narrow band of audio frequencies in the transmitter and automatically correcting demodulation in the receiver in accordance with the position in the frequency spectrum of this band after demodulation."

: so a kind of shortwave radio? /not for nothing I don't touch techy fields :-)

SSB will always be shortwave, but shortwave won't always be SSB

BLU radio
Deux modes différents d'activité d'un système de radio BLU sont définis: onde porteuse avec ou sans modulation. Un détecteur basé sur le filtrage nonlinéaire est proposé. Le détecteur décide lequel des deux modes définis ci-dessus est présent. Les résultats obtenus sont exprimés dans un language de radar, c'est-à-dire la probabilité de détection comme une fonction du rapoprt signal sur bruit à l'entrée pour une probabilité de fausse alarme fixe donnée.

: Asker needs the English term (SSB - which has been provided by other answerers).
