Bittium receives Finnish purchase order
Bittium has received an order from the Finnish defence force for the maintenance and further development of its Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) and Bittium Tough VoIP systems, the company announced on 15 May.
The purchase order worth $2.7 million includes technical support of the systems and related equipment, software support, upkeep of the system support, management of the system support, and development of new features.
Bittium TAC WIN is a software defined radio based wireless broadband network system that enables mobile ad hoc network, link and connection networks to be formed into one logical IP network quickly. It is compatible
with existing fixed and wireless network infrastructures. The core of the system is a tactical router that enables users to freely form both wired and wireless broadband data transfer IP connections. Tactical router enables also connections to different types of terminals and other communication systems connecting them into a one communication network.
The Bittium Tough VoIP system enables tactical IP calls and broadband data transfer in challenging conditions and the products can also be integrated with the existing IP infrastructure. With the Bittium Tough VoIP system, the fixed data network users and wireless tactical data network users can be connected to the same voice service network, improving situational awareness in demanding conditions.More from Digital Battlespace
