Company profile
Secure connectivity for battlefields, mobile work and clinical monitoring
Bittium turns longstanding radio, wireless and signal-processing expertise into products for three distinct operating environments. Defence forces use TAC WIN backbones and Tough SDR radios to carry command data between headquarters, vehicles, soldiers and unmanned platforms. Government and critical-infrastructure teams use Tough Mobile devices and SafeMove software for secure work on the move. Hospitals, clinics and diagnostic providers use portable ECG, EEG and sleep-monitoring systems. Customer-specific engineering and long life-cycle services support these product platforms.
Battlefield communications
From command posts to soldiers and unmanned platforms
TAC WIN forms a wireless IP backbone for command-and-control and sensor data. Tough SDR Vehicular brings two-channel links to vehicles, naval vessels and sensor platforms; Tough SDR Handheld extends voice, data and video to dismounted leaders using the NATO-standard ESSOR waveform. Tough SDR Unmanned connects drones and ground or maritime robots as nodes in the same self-healing network. Two official films make the chain visible, from network management to real-time situational awareness.

Deployment and positioning
National programmes scale through integration, service and licensing
Defence sales progress through long sovereign programmes, not consumer cycles. Bittium says TAC WIN and Tough SDR were developed with the Finnish Defence Forces and now operate in five European countries. Austria is expanding a network supplied since 2019, with life-cycle services extending to 2038; Croatia extended the system from Navy and Land Forces to Air Force ground communications. Spain follows a different model: Indra licenses the radio technology for local development and manufacturing, while Bittium also sells customer-specific R&D services.

Secure mobile work
Separate systems serve classified users and mobile field teams
Tough Mobile 2 C is designed for government and authority users: one handset runs separated Personal and Confidential operating systems, with hardware-backed security, Privacy Mode and SafeMove-managed communications. The complete combination is approved for NATO Restricted and Finland's TL III Confidential level. SafeMove also serves a different setting: utilities and other mobile workforces that need an always-on, session-persistent VPN while devices move between weak or changing networks. Bittium cites UK Power Networks and Thames Water as field-service cases.

Portable clinical workflows
Heart, brain and sleep signals follow different care pathways
HolterPlus combines a waterproof Faros ECG recorder, MedicalSuite transfer and Cardiac Navigator analysis for monitoring outside hospital for up to 30 days. In Europe, BrainStatus instead places a CE-marked quick-fit forehead EEG in emergency and intensive-care workflows; Bittium separately states that US use is for research only, not diagnosis. Respiro is for home sleep-apnoea testing, after which its Analyst software pre-analyses the recording for clinical review. These are distinct cardiac, neurological and sleep products, but all rely on portable biosignal capture, digital data transfer and specialist analysis software.
