Critical Infrastructure Technologies Signs Confidentiality Agreements with Nokia and Ericsson for Ukrainian Defense Communications

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has executed two three-way confidentiality agreements with leading global partners to advance secure communications capabilities for the Nexus 20 platform, requested by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence. The agreements were signed between Babcock Land Defence Limited, Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy, and Critical Infrastructure Technologies, as well as between Babcock Land Defence Limited, Ericsson Limited, and Critical Infrastructure Technologies.

These NDAs provide the framework for collaboration on the design and integration of full-scope 4G/5G telecommunications systems into the Nexus 20 platform. Both Nokia and Ericsson have been selected as preferred suppliers of advanced telecommunications hardware for the program, which includes delivery of 50 Nexus 20 platforms. This milestone ensures that industry leaders can work together in a secure and collaborative environment to deliver world-class communications systems to meet the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence's operational requirements.

Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, stated that by leveraging the proven capabilities of Nokia and Ericsson, alongside Babcock's extensive defence expertise, the company is advancing toward fully integrated, next-generation communications for the Nexus 20 platform. The Nexus 20 program underscores the importance of resilient, secure, and high-capacity communications in modern defence operations.

The execution of these NDAs paves the way for detailed system design and integration, bringing the project one step closer to deployment. This development is significant as it represents a major advancement in autonomous, high-capacity mobile communications platforms that can deliver essential services to critical sectors including defence, border security, surveillance, and emergency services. The technology addresses limitations of current rapidly deployable communication solutions, particularly regarding tower strength and rapid self-deployment capabilities.
