Bittium Enters Into an Agreement with NATO Communications and Information Agency NCIA and Strengthens Its Role in Defense as a Key Supplier of Security Technology
Bittium Corporation press release on January 27, 2026, at 09.00 am (CET +1)
Bittium has entered into a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA). This agreement designates Bittium as a preferred supplier for the NCIA and NATO member countries, enabling accelerated procurement of Bittium's secure mobile communications devices, software, and accessories. The agreement covers Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions that NATO uses to maintain its technological edge and respond to cyber threats.
"Bittium is a trusted forerunner and supplier of defense and security technologies, and the agreement with NATO further streamlines the ability of member countries to procure our high-quality security solutions. We are very proud of this milestone, as it enables us to support NATO and its member nations in advancing cybersecurity and critical capabilities", said Tommi Kangas, Senior Vice President of Bittium's Defense & Security business segment.
Solutions offered under the agreement include secure Bittium Tough Mobile smartphones as well as quantum-safe Bittium SafeMove® and Bittium Secure Call software solutions that provide encrypted connectivity, secure communication, and comprehensive device and application management. The multi-platform software solutions support Android, iOS, and Microsoft Windows to enable organization-wide secure communications. The Bittium SafeMove® Mobile VPN encryption solution also supports hybrid networking and ensures secure interoperability across tactical networks and 4G/5G mobile networks.
Bittium's solutions are used globally by over 75,000 users and enable absolute security for mitigating the ever-increasing cyber threats faced by government agencies, defense forces, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure organizations. Bittium Tough Mobile 2 C is an information security solution approved for NATO Restricted-level use and secures mobile communications between government officials and authorities. Both the Tough Mobile 2 C and the recently launched Bittium Tough Mobile 3 smartphone eliminate the need of having separate devices for personal and professional use, which streamlines workflows without compromising data boundaries. This is enabled by a unique dual operating system, meaning two completely isolated, hardened environments. Users can easily switch between the environments via dual-boot, ensuring total separation of personal and professional use.
