Finnish Army begins trials of EB tough VoIP products in an effort to enhance military communications
EB, Elektrobit Corporation, a developer of cutting-edge embedded technology solutions for automotive and wireless industries, today announced that its EB Tough VoIP system has been delivered to the Finnish Army, who will commence an extensive series of field trials on the system during 2010 to evaluate its performance in varying military scenarios.
Since being unveiled as the new era IP voice and data communications solution for the Finnish Air Force at the 2009 International Defence Exhibition & Conference (IDEX) in Abu Dhabi, EB Tough VoIP will now operate under even more demanding environmental conditions for the Army branch of the Finnish Defence Forces. EB will work with the Finnish Army on various testing phases throughout this year in order to ensure proper usage and meet system requirements. With new components such as broadband data communications, enhanced voice over IP services, and advanced functions designed specifically for ground forces, the system provides significant levels of increased performance and operational capabilities. In addition, it enables the Finnish Defence Forces to take a giant leap forward on the road to adopting a Network Centric Defense model.

-- Rugged and secure Voice over IP (VoIP) clients for military
communications
-- Radio over IP (RoIP) clients
