Even though the announcement mentions the Finnish Defence Forces, no purchases have been agreed upon yet. It merely demonstrated the possibility of a joint KNL & Bittium product operating over Telia’s 5G network, which can then be integrated into Bittium’s terminals that the Defence Forces already possess.
Considering drones, this is a good thing, as they can be used directly over a wider area via the 5G network, though interference can still occur regardless. On the other hand, it also means there’s no need to use radios and reveal operations if one can appear as a single operator over the 5G network instead of a large target.
