As Part of the Research Infrastructure

Bittium has supplied NATO’s DIANA (Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic) test centres with software defined radio based Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) system and Bittium Tough SDR™ soldier and vehicle radios. The new technology test centres will be established at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland’s sites in Otaniemi, Espoo and University of Oulu. The state-of the-art products, which provide broadband tactical communications and are used for example by defense forces in different countries, will be part of the research infrastructure of the test centres.

NATO’s DIANA test centres help companies of NATO countries to strengthen their technological expertise and competitiveness. The test centres offer tools for technology development, and the technology themes of the test centres are related to next-generation communication systems, 6G technology, cybersecurity, and quantum and space technologies.

The research infrastructure and experts provided by the test centres will allow companies to evaluate their own concepts and technologies and get support to develop them. The test centres will consist of comprehensive research facilities and equipment, as well as top-level expertise in the sector. Bittium’s products will be used to build communications networks in the test centres. In the test networks, TAC WIN system’s extensive features for integration as well as the broadband Bittium TAC WIN Waveform used by both the TAC WIN system and Tough SDR radios, enable, among other things, multiple services to run simultaneously.
