Finland orders Bittium tactical devices

Bittium Wireless Ltd has received an order from the Finnish Defence Forces for products in the software-defined radio-based Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) range, designed for tactical communications.

The value of the order is EUR14.3 million (excluding VAT).

The order is based on a framework agreement signed by Bittium and the Finnish Defence Forces in August 2017, according to which products will be ordered during 2018–20.

Finnish Defence Forces will issue separate purchase orders for the products each year.

If materialised in full, the total value of the framework agreement is EUR30 million (excluding VAT).

The order is part of the renewal of the Finnish Defence Forces’ command, control and communications system, where the Bittium TAC WIN system acts as the backbone network for tactical data transfer.
