Finland and Japan signed a defence equipment and technology agreement on 26 October. Bittium is in Japan with the delegation led by Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen, and Markku Toiviainen is representing us.

Japan has made connected, resilient command and control a priority. We are proud to have this opportunity to share and discuss, where interoperable communications can help most.

Thank you to the Ministry of Defence and the organisers.

We were honored to welcome Jyrki Katainen, Head of Group Public and Regulatory Affairs at Nordea Bank and the European Commission’s Special Adviser for EU-Arctic relations, to our headquarters.

Thank you for the visit and for an insightful discussion on EU-Arctic relations, the region’s growing strategic importance, and the role of technology in building a secure, resilient, and connected Europe.

We greatly value the exchange of perspectives and look forward to continuing the dialogue.

Last night, Bittium and the Ambassador of Finland to the UK, Teemu Turunen, hosted the Autumn Reception “Strengthening the UK/Finland Defence Relationship” at the Ambassador’s Residence in London. The house was full. We were joined by UK parliamentarians, representatives of government, the armed forces and industry, and members of the media. The evening exceeded our expectations.

Our thanks to Ambassador Turunen for hosting us in such a fitting setting, and to Alex Ballinger, Member of Parliament for Halesowen, for his address, and Noah Law, Member of Parliament for St Austell & Newquay for joining us.

The UK and Finland are more than friends today. We are partners out of strategic necessity. Defence cooperation has deepened considerably, and the strengths of our two nations complement each other well. Finland brings resilience and preparedness. The UK brings scale, experience and global leadership.

As our CEO Petri Toljamo said in his welcome address, deterrence is not built on platforms alone. What makes forces effective is what connects them: secure communications, resilience and interoperability. Bittium is here as a partner and a listener, and we want to contribute to the UK–Finland relationship for the long term.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for open conversations and warm feedback. Representing Bittium were Petri Toljamo (CEO), Tommi Kangas (SVP, Defence), Karoliina Malmi (Chief Communications Officer) and Dean Alderidge (Bittium’s representative in the UK).

Hello from Sleep Europe in Maastricht! 👋

We all know how we feel after a bad night’s sleep. For people with sleep apnea, even a full night in bed can leave them feeling tired the next day. [1]

Obstructive sleep apnea affects an estimated 1 billion adults worldwide. [2]

Bittium Respiro™ allows patients to complete a sleep apnea test at home. It records up to 12 channels, including airflow, respiratory effort and oxygen saturation. There’s even a built-in microphone for snoring. 😴

Our cloud-based Bittium Respiro Analyst™ software helps sleep specialists review recordings and create clinician-ready reports to support confident clinical decisions.

Come and talk with us at booth A30.

Tehdään suomalaista puolustusteknologiaosaamista näkyväksi Natolle ➡️

Bittium on mukana Oulussa järjestettävässä NATO Innovation Range Capability Demonstrator -tapahtumassa, jossa esitellään suomalaisia teknologioita ja testauskyvykkyyksiä Natolle ja liittolaismaille.

💡Tulevaisuuden puolustuskyky rakentuu yhä vahvemmin uusien kyvykkyyksien nopean käyttöönoton ja yhteentoimivuuden varaan. Bittiumille on tärkeää olla mukana yhteistyössä, joka tuo suomalaista teknologiaosaamista osaksi tätä kehitystä ja auttaa viemään uusia ratkaisuja kohti operatiivista käyttöä.

💡Bittium demonstroi tapahtumassa muun muassa miehittämättömien järjestelmien verkottumista osaksi laajempaa tiedonsiirtoverkkoa. Miehittämättömien järjestelmien merkityksen kasvaessa korostuu myös kyky liittää ne saumattomasti osaksi verkottunutta puolustusta sekä tilannekuvan ja tiedon jakamista.

Hienoa olla mukana rakentamassa tulevaisuuden puolustuskykyä yhdessä!

Showcasing Finnish defence technology expertise to NATO ➡️

Bittium is participating in the NATO Innovation Range Capability Demonstrator event in Oulu, showcasing Finnish technology and testing capabilities to NATO and Allied experts.

💡 Future defence capabilities increasingly depend on the rapid adoption of new capabilities and interoperability. We are proud to contribute to cooperation that helps bring Finnish innovation closer to operational use.

💡 At the event, Bittium will demonstrate, among other capabilities, the networking of unmanned systems as part of a broader tactical communications network. As unmanned systems become increasingly important, their seamless integration into secure and resilient networks is essential for sharing information and building situational awareness.

Great to be part of building the future of defence together!

Suomessa järjestetään lokakuussa 2026 kaksi Nato Innovation Range -toimintaan liittyvää testaustapahtumaa.

Modern military communications must connect vehicle crews, dismounted soldiers, sensors, systems, and other assets into the same resilient tactical network.

In an interview with Shephard, Bittium’s Sami Pesonen discusses how Bittium MissionNet takes vehicle communications beyond the traditional intercom, integrating voice and data into a common IP-based architecture.

The result: no communications silos, easier integration of new capabilities, and resilient connectivity designed for the realities of multi-domain operations.

In the modern battlespace, military intercom systems can no longer operate in isolation. They must instead be integrated with the wider tactical network, gaining operational advantages through secure communications with dismounted soliders and other assets across domains.

Sleep Europe 2026 Congress starts tomorrow in Maastricht!

Did you know that around 1 billion people worldwide are affected by obstructive sleep apnea, while many people with moderate to severe sleep apnea remain undiagnosed? A typical wait for in-lab sleep testing can be 6–18 months. [1,2,3]

Home Sleep Apnea Testing can help bring diagnostics closer to patients, allowing them to record a diagnostic night in the comfort of their own bed.

Come visit Bittium Medical at booth A30 to discover Bittium Respiro™, our MDR approved end-to-end HSAT solution designed for patient comfort, flexible clinical workflows, and confident sleep diagnostics.

A satellite link is a service. Someone else can change its terms overnight.

This week Ukrainian officials said military satellite terminals lost connection above 160 km/h, with no warning. The cause is disputed. Whatever the reason, a network you do not control can change without notice.

Bittium builds the core you control. Our Tough SDR™ radios and TAC WIN form a self-healing mesh, and the network extends over HF and into commercial 5G. With over 40 years Bittium has been building sovereign European solutions for military communication.

Use satellite where it helps. Keep the network running where it does not.
