Rugged and reliable networks for Defence operations
Defence operations depend on uncompromised communication. Westermo brings over 50 years of experience building resilient networking infrastructure for the harshest environments, now applied to tactical and operational defence networks. The result is a resilient foundation that makes defence systems deployable, maintainable and upgradeable over time.
With R&D and manufacturing in Europe, Westermo offers full traceability, robust security oversight and a secure, reliable supply chain for defence-critical applications.
Networking for defence and security environments
Modern defence operations are increasingly network-centric. Reliable communication infrastructure is essential to support coordination, situational awareness and decision-making across platforms, systems and locations. These environments place exceptional demands on networks, including predictable performance, strong cyber protection, controlled information flows and long-term maintainability.
Westermo's networking technology is proven in other demanding, long-lifecycle sectors such as rail, where systems must run reliably for decades. We bring that same lifecycle discipline to defence, providing the trusted communication layer that enables defence organisations and system integrators to build resilient architectures, without exposing sensitive system or application details.

Built to support defence-grade operations
Westermo solutions are designed to support defence-grade requirements and mission-critical environments. Our focus is to deliver trusted communication infrastructure- without assuming system-level responsibility.
Westermo delivers commercially available, standards-based networking technology where reliability, openness and long-term lifecycle control are essential. For larger programmes, our platforms can be tailored and supported to meet programme-specific operational and environmental requirements, in close cooperation with our customers.
Connected defence expertise
Westermo's rugged networking technology is complemented by our sister company Beijer Electronics, whose MIL-STD-810H compliant HMIs deliver trusted control and visualization for mission-critical defense applications. Together, we strengthen system reliability from the communication backbone to the operator interface.
