Bittium Wireless receives Finnish order
Bittium Wireless has received a purchase order from the Finnish Defence Force for products included in the software defined radio-based Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) tactical communications system, Bittium announced on 13 April.
The order, worth $17.6 million, is part of the Finnish Defence Forces’ renewal of command, control and communications systems, where the TAC WIN system functions as the backbone network for tactical data transfer.
