Description

The Bittium Tough SDR Finish Handheld VHF/UHF Software Defined Radio (SDR) is the next generation software-defined tactical radio for dismounted soldiers, such as squad or platoon leaders. With the radio, it is possible to bring broadband data transfer and voice to mobile troops across the battlefield. This improves the performance and the effectiveness of the tactical troops, and leading the troops is easier based on up-to-date situational awareness and more reliable connections. With Bittium Tough SDR Handheld troops can communicate securely over narrowband and wideband waveforms. The radio can flexibly use the best-performing waveform considering the conditions and the mission. The uniquely wide range of frequency bands in the radios improves combat survivability. Using several waveforms improves compatibility and enables operations on different levels and missions. Also, legacy and national proprietary waveforms can be seamlessly ported to the radio with national COMSEC and TRANSEC. The Tough SDR radios provide a uniquely wide frequency range, 30-2500 MHz, across several frequency bands. Together with flexible configuration options and routing networks, even thousands of radios in one network are supported. Connectivity Across the Battlefield The Handheld radio is compatible with Bittium Tough SDR Vehicular™, which belongs to the same product family, and Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network™ (TAC WIN) system. With the Tough SDR radios, the TAC WIN system, and the related waveforms, it is possible to bring broadband data and voice to all mobile troops starting from brigade level and all the way across the battlefield.
