Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V) announced the execution of two three-way Confidentiality Agreements (NDAs) with leading global partners to advance secure communications capabilities for the Nexus 20 platform, as requested by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence. The agreements were signed between Babcock Land Defence Limited, Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy, and CiTech, as well as between Babcock Land Defence Limited, Ericsson Limited, and CiTech.
These NDAs provide the framework for collaboration on the design and integration of full-scope 4G/5G telecommunications systems into the Nexus 20. 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. The Nexus 20 is a self-deploying platform designed to deliver high-capacity mobile communications for defence and emergency response operations.
Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, stated, "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. By leveraging the proven capabilities of Nokia and Ericsson, alongside Babcock’s extensive defence expertise, we are 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 collaboration aims to address critical communication needs in conflict zones, where robust and reliable networks are essential for coordination and situational awareness.
The agreements come amid ongoing efforts to support Ukraine's defence capabilities. By integrating Nokia and Ericsson's 4G/5G technology, the Nexus 20 platform is expected to provide secure and high-speed data transmission, enabling real-time intelligence sharing and command operations.
