Bittium Wireless Ltd, a subsidiary of Bittium Corporation, has received a significant purchase order from the Finnish Defence Forces for Bittium Tough SDR Handheld and Vehicular radios and related accessories. The value of the purchase order is approximately EUR 14 million, and the product deliveries will take place during the year 2026. The Finnish Defence Force began the serial procurement of the Bittium Tough SDR radios at the end of the year 2024. The new radios will replace the Finnish Defence Forces' existing stock of analogue tactical radios in stages with modern software-defined radios enabling broadband tactical communications. The radios will also offer significantly better performance for the Finnish Defence Forces compared to the earlier generation digital tactical radios.
The Tough SDR radios are compatible with the software-defined Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) system used by the Finnish Defence Forces for forming a backbone for broadband tactical communications. The solutions come together as a seamless network that enables resilient communications for all troops across domains and military branches. Part of the performance of the software-defined radios is created with the software used in the radios and software development enables performance enhancements for the radios throughout their whole life cycle.
"Modern military operations require high performance, resilience, and seamless connectivity from communications systems. Tough SDR radios, together with the TAC WIN system, support these needs. The solution enables the creation and sharing of a situational picture in demanding and dynamic operational environments, supporting effective command and control of forces at all levels," says Tommi Kangas, Senior Vice President of Bittium's Defence & Security business segment.
The purchase order has been issued under a Partnership Agreement between Bittium and the Finnish Defence Forces. The Partnership Agreement applies to the years 2025-2036 and establishes a framework for purchasing Bittium's devices, software, and services. The purchases are planned together with the Finnish Defence Forces for each year. The Finnish Defence Forces will issue separate purchase orders for the products and services in several batches according to what has been agreed in the Partnership Agreement.
