Bittium receives purchase order from the Finnish defence forces on tactical radios

ittium has received a purchase order from the Finnish Defence Forces to continue porting the European ESSOR (European Secure SOftware-defined Radio) program's OC1 (Operational Capability 1) wideband waveform to the Bittium Tough SDR radios that will be delivered to the Finnish Defence Forces. The order is a continuation to the ESSOR waveform porting order received in 2019. With the current purchase order, the porting proceeds from design phase to implementation phase. The porting of the waveform to the national software-defined radios enables compatibility between radios used in European coalition operations, in accordance with the goals of the ESSOR programme.

The value of the purchase order is approximately EUR 1.6 million (excl. VAT). With the purchase order, the Finnish Defence Forces are taking up an option for the year 2020 from a purchase order announced in a press release on April 5, 2019.
