Bittium is exhibiting new Bittium Tough SDR tactical radios and launching Bittium Tough VoIP Softphone software product at the Eurosatory defense exhibition in Paris, France on June 11-15, 2018.

In addition, Bittium is showcasing Software Defined Radio based Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™ system for forming a wireless broadband network, Bittium Tough Comnode™ terminal and Bittium Tough VoIP™ products for versatile IP-based data transfer and VoIP calls, as well as the secure and strong Bittium Tough Mobile 4G LTE smartphone and related high security software products.

The Bittium Tough SDR product family of tactical radios consists of Bittium Tough SDR Handheld™, tactical handheld radio for individual soldiers, and Bittium Tough SDR Vehicular™, tactical radio for vehicle installations. The radios can flexibly use the most appropriate waveform with the best fit considering the conditions and the mission, such as Bittium TAC WIN Waveform™, ESSOR HDRWF waveform and Bittium Narrowband Waveform™. The uniquely wide range of frequency bands improves combat survivability and using several waveforms, even simultaneously, improves compatibility and enables operations on different levels and missions.

The tactical radios expand Bittium’s product offering from the current Bittium TAC WIN system, used for forming a tactical broadband mobile IP backbone network, now also to individual soldier and vehicular level tactical radios. This enables bringing broadband data transfer and voice to all mobile troops starting from brigade level and all the way across the battlefield to individual soldiers.

The Bittium Tough VoIP Softphone™ software product launched at the event is a VoIP client (Voice over Internet Protocol) that can be used for VoIP calls, instant messaging, conference calls and screen sharing in the tactical Bittium Tough VoIP Service™ network either with a PC or smartphone. Especially useful for tactical use are also the Push-To-Talk (PTT) feature as well as the remote control and sending instant messages to existing third party Combat Net Radios (CNR) through Bittium Tough VoIP Service network and Bittium Tough Comnode terminal or Bittium TAC WIN system’s router (Radio over IP, RoIP).
