Bittium informs that Puolustusvoimat has been authorized to begin serial procurement of tactical Bittium Tough SDR radios from Bittium’s subsidiary Bittium Wireless Oy.
The total value of the procurement under preparation would be approximately EUR 25.6 million and it would be the third additional procurement related to the additional procurement provision of the procurement contract concluded on 12 December 2018. The Defense Forces will place a separate order for the products and related equipment. The products are planned to be delivered during the year 2025. Deliveries are planned to begin at the end of 2024.
Bittium Tough SDR military and vehicle radios will be integrated into the M18 command system of the Army and the Defense Forces’ radio family, and they will gradually replace the analog field radios used by the Defense Forces with modern software radio-based radios that enable broadband data transmission.
“We have reached an important milestone in the development of our Bittium Tough SDR radios. The products are now ready for series procurement. We thank the Finnish Defense Forces for their close cooperation during product development. Through the cooperation, we have ensured that the radios meet the requirements set by the Finnish Defense Forces and the battlefield. We will continue to develop the products and improve their performance in terms of their features. .Continuous development ensures that the performance of the products is maintained according to the requirements of the battlefield in ever-changing conditions,” says Tommi Kangasthe director responsible for Bittium’s Defense & Security business segment, in the press release.
