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.

📍 Maastricht | 20–23 October

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.

Important milestone for our renewed ambulatory ECG offering 🎉

Bittium EasyFlex™ has received CE marking under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The single-use electrode patch connects directly to Bittium Faros Pro™ for continuous ECG recording during everyday life.

⏱️ Longer recording gives doctors more chances to capture arrhythmias that come and go.¹ Doctors can then review the ECG to help identify the rhythm problem and plan the right care.

Because arrhythmias happen when life happens. ❤️

Bittium has decided to renew its business structure to accelerate the implementation of its strategy by merging the Defence & Security and Engineering Services business segments as of 1 January 2027. The new structure will further strengthen the company’s strong growth in the defence market and enable it to capture long-term growth opportunities.

By combining the business segments Bittium will create an integrated entity in which the expertise of the product business and the R&D and lifecycle services businesses complement each other.

Under the new operating model, the company can focus more clearly both on winning new customers and growing the product business, and on increasing the long-term customer value built around its products through software and lifecycle services.

The new Defence & Security business segment forms an end-to-end service chain that accelerates the delivery of new innovations and services to customers and supports their ability to respond to the rapidly changing operating environment and defence needs.

A military alliance is only as strong as its ability to communicate.

The accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO has marked a new era for Nordic defence cooperation.

As Tommi Kangas, Senior Vice President, Defence & Security at Bittium, points out in Dagens Industri, allied forces must be able to communicate securely across borders, services, and command structures under all conditions.

In today's security environment, communications networks are no longer supporting infrastructure. They are a critical operational capability.

A credible defence of NATO's northern flank depends on resilient, secure, and interoperable communications that allow allies to act as one force when it matters most.
