system products

Oulu, Finland, July 6, 2017 – The Finnish Minister of Defence Jussi Niinistö has
authorized Finnish Defence Forces to purchase Bittium Tactical Wireless IP
Network™ (TAC WIN) system products. The Ministry of Defence has informed about
the authorization today. Bittium and Finnish Defence Forces plan to sign a
Framework Agreement for the delivery of Bittium TAC WIN products, that covers
years 2018-2020, with the total value of the agreement being EUR 30 million
(excl. VAT). According to the Framework Agreement, Finnish Defence Forces would
issue separate purchase orders for the products each year. The Framework
Agreement will not have an effect on Bittium's financial outlook for the year
2017, published on February 20, 2017 in Bittium's Financial Statement Bulletin

The Framework Agreement will be a continuation to the long cooperation between
Finnish Defence Forces and Bittium. It will continue the renewal of the Finnish
Defence Forces’ command, control and communications system, where the Software
-Defined Radio based Bittium TAC WIN system acts as the backbone for tactical
data transfer. Bittium TAC WIN provides broadband IP network connections for
mobile communication stations and command posts. In the reformed combat doctrine
of the Finnish Defence Forces, mobility, leading the troops on the move and
effective communications play a key role.

Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™

Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) is a Software-Defined Radio based
wireless broadband network system intended for military and public safety use.
With the system MANET (mobile ad hoc network), link, and connection networks can
be formed into one logical IP network quickly, no matter what the location is.
Bittium TAC WIN 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. In
addition to the router the system comprises three types of radio heads, and each
radio head covers its own frequency band area and can be used for flexible
formation of optimized network topologies for different communication needs. All
the products of the system are designed for harsh conditions, and thanks to the
system's automated functions the implementation of the system can be done
quickly. Due to the software-based functionality of the Bittium TAC WIN system,
it can be easily updated with additional performance cost-efficiently during the
whole lifespan of the system.
