Bittium Corporation press release on July 16, 2024, at 4.00 pm (CEST +1)
Bittium delivers Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™ system products and Bittium Tough SDR Vehicular ™ radios to Croatian’s Navy and Land Forces. The modernization of the tactical communications of the Croatian Navy and Land Forces is part of the renewal of the command and control system of the Croatian Armed Forces. Bittium announced on June 6, 2024, that its Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™ System and Bittium Tough SDR Vehicular™ Radios have been accepted as tactical communications solutions for the armament of the Croatian Armed Forces.
Bittium has received a purchase order for the products and their accessories from IntellByte INFO, Bittium’s Croatian partner, and supplier of IT solutions, who supplies and integrates the tactical communications system entity for the Croatian Armed Forces. The purchase order is part of a four-year framework agreement between IntellByte INFO and the Croatian Ministry of Defence for the supply and integration of tactical communications systems for the use of different military branches of the Croatian Armed Forces.
The goal of the renewal is to enable real time situational awareness to support commanding the deployed troops of Croatian Armed Forces. The TAC WIN system is used to build a modular and survivable backbone network and the high performance Tough SDR Vehicular radios connect the Navy’s vessels as part of the network. Bittium Tough SDR Vehicular radios will also be used in Land Forces for seamless connectivity with Navy.
Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™
Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) is a software-defined radio (SDR) 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. The tactical router also enables connections to different types of terminals and other communication systems in order to connect them into a single 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, which allows it to be developed and maintained cost-efficiently throughout the whole lifespan of the system.

Bittium Tough SDR™ product family
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 Tough SDR radios help to produce and share real time situational awareness to all levels of the organization. This improves the performance and the effectiveness of the tactical troops, and leading the troops is easier based on the up-to-date situational awareness and more reliable connections. The uniquely wide range of frequency bands in the radios improves combat survivability. Using several waveforms, even simultaneously, improves compatibility and enables operations on different levels and missions. The radios are compatible with the NATO standardized ESSOR High Data Rate Waveform that enables tactical communications between troops from different nations. Together with the software-defined radio based Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™ (TAC WIN) system, used for forming a broadband mobile IP backbone network, it is possible to bring broadband data and voice to all mobile troops across the battlefield.
