What do you think these radios are doing? They aren't just voice radios, you do realize that right?

I was talking about the tactical radios discussed in the article (2km range).

If you want the radio to let you watch video feed from a drone above, show a map with locations of other soldiers, or update Facebook status via satellite link, that may be a bit more work.

Imagery and location data with others are among the feature set of JTRS. So yeah. A bit more work.
