Bittium Wireless Ltd, a subsidiary of Bittium Corporation, has signed an

The transfer of Tough SDR technology has begun. By licensing Bittium's Tough SDR
technology, Indra will develop and manufacture sovereign, high-performance

potentially extensible to other countries.
Bittium will continue developing and supplying its own tactical communication
products and radios for its customers globally. Bittium has extensive experience
in the development of software-defined radio technology and waveforms for
tactical communications and devices and software for secure communications. Its
solutions include a modular IP-based backbone network and next-generation
handheld and vehicular radios as well as ultra-secure mobile devices and
software solutions to government and public authorities. The tactical
communications solutions have been delivered to multiple countries, including
Finland, Estonia, Austria, and Croatia, to enable modern, resilient, and high
-performance communications seamlessly across domains and military branches.
Bittium's secure communication solutions are in use in 50 countries worldwide.
“This agreement demonstrates strong confidence in the excellence of our software
-defined radio technology. The new business model, in which we license our
technology, enables countries that require sovereign modern tactical radios to
use our technology. This expands significantly the global reach of our
technology and products to countries with strong defense industry champions. We
are excited to collaborate with Indra, and together we will make a significant
contribution to strengthening the defense capabilities.”, says Petri Toljamo,
CEO of Bittium Corporation.
Bittium announced with a stock exchange release on 18 July 2025 on a Letter of
Intent for strategic cooperation related to Bittium's SDR technology between

auspices of six European nations to develop ESSOR waveforms that enable
interoperability among armed forces. ESSOR High Data Rate Waveform has been
adopted by NATO as the interoperability standard for tactical communications and
is compatible with the SDR technology licensed by Bittium to Indra.
