Cattron Launches Wireless Remote Control Solutions Compliant with CRA Standards
Cattron Launches Wireless Remote Control Solutions Compliant with CRA Standards
Cattron, a global frontrunner in remote control technologies, has made significant strides by introducing a new line of wireless remote control solutions that comply with the recently enacted Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in the European Union. Announced on August 6, 2026, this news positions Cattron among the industry leaders, ensuring that manufacturers and users can navigate the evolving landscape of cybersecurity requirements effectively.
As the European Union intensifies its focus on the digital security of products, the CRA mandates strict cybersecurity requirements for products with digital components sold in the EU market. Manufacturers are required to integrate cybersecurity during the design phase, manage vulnerabilities throughout a product's lifecycle, and provide upgrades and ongoing security support. Effective from December 10, 2024, the initial reporting obligations will commence on September 11, 2026, with full compliance expected by December 11, 2027.
According to Stefan Schwiers, Vice President of Sales for Cattron in Europe, the CRA signifies a fundamental shift in the industrial sector's approach to cybersecurity. “It’s no longer sufficient to retroactively implement security features. Manufacturers must illustrate a secure lifecycle that extends from initial design to long-term after-sales support. Our products have been designed with these principles in mind, allowing us to support customers who need solutions immediately.”
The array of products from Cattron that meets CRA compliance includes flagship systems for industrial and rail safety and control. Notable offerings include:
- - EC/LO Pro locomotive control systems (model E)
- - Safe-E-Stop and Safe-D-Stop emergency stop systems
- - CRA-compatible CattronControl systems acquired after June 1, 2026, including options LRC-M1, LRC-L1, CT24, and MMCU4 (model E)
- - Excalibur-E industrial remote control systems
- - XBMCU and CBMCU receivers
- - Remtron portable transmitters like models 411, 611, and PatriotPro, as well as receivers 10R, 11R, and 17R
- - Application-specific Tyro remote control systems
All these products incorporate a secure-by-design architecture per CRA's Annex I requirements, featuring encrypted wireless communication and other necessary safeguards against unauthorized access. Cattron’s latest generation of industrial remote control systems also integrates secure configuration management, designed to shield against the specific threat scenarios identified by the CRA.
Furthermore, Cattron is committed to enhancing cybersecurity support throughout the operational lifecycle of its systems. With remote controls typically deployed for 10 to 20 years in challenging environments, Cattron understands the impracticality of conventional network-based updates. Consequently, the company has developed a strategy that includes controlled updates for hardware and firmware modules, serial number traceability across the installed base, and structured remediation processes to maintain security throughout the product lifecycle.
For current clients, Cattron will provide proactive communication regarding the cybersecurity status and compliance of implemented systems, including recommended actions when necessary. New clients can access the complete range of CRA-compliant products and supporting technical resources, including Product Conformity Declarations, via Cattron's dedicated CRA resources page.
