Bittium has received a purchase order from its European partner for supplying the procurement agency of a European country’s armed forces with a tactical communications solution.

The communications solution to be supplied includes Tough SDR Vehicular radios, Tough SDR Handheld radios, software, and accessories. The value of the purchase order is approximately EUR 2.2 million and the products will be delivered during the year 2025.

“We are honored to start collaboration with a new European customer. Our customer is a forerunner in its dedication to technological advancement and this cooperation underscores our commitment to provide modern tactical communications solutions that are made for the highly demanding needs of the battlefield.

Bittium Tough SDR™ product family

Bittium Tough SDR product family of tactical radios consists of Bittium Tough SDR Handheld™, tactical handheld radio for dismounted soldiers, and Bittium Tough SDR Vehicular™, tactical radio for vehicle installations. The Tough SDR radios help to produce and share real time situational awareness to all levels of the organization. This improves the performance and the effectiveness of the tactical troops, and leading the troops is easier based on the up-to-date situational awareness and more reliable connections. The uniquely wide range of frequency bands in the radios improves combat survivability. Using several waveforms, even simultaneously, improves compatibility and enables operations on different levels and missions. The radios are compatible with the NATO-standardized ESSOR High Data Rate Waveform that enables tactical communications between troops from different nations. Together with the software-defined radio based Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™ (TAC WIN) system, used for forming a broadband mobile IP backbone network, it is possible to bring broadband data and voice to all mobile troops across the battlefield.
