The agreement was signed during the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gda\u0144sk, Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The companies say the partnership aims to develop new solutions that address the evolving communications requirements of modern armed forces. As part of the cooperation, Bittium and HIMERA will explore interoperability and integration opportunities between Bittium\u2019s defence communications portfolio and HIMERA\u2019s field-proven tactical communications systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to HIMERA co-founder and CEO Misha Rudominski, cooperation between Finland and Ukraine \u2014 as well as between Bittium and HIMERA \u2014 is a natural fit, as both countries face many of the same security challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tommi Kangas, Senior Vice President of Bittium Defence &amp; Security, said the companies plan to work together on solutions for the Finnish and Ukrainian defence forces while also exploring opportunities to develop capabilities aligned with NATO requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bittium has operated in the radio communications technology sector for over 40 years. In 2025, its revenue amounted to \u20ac119.3 million, while operating profit reached \u20ac19.4 million. The company is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki.
