HMD Secure and Eviden are partnering to integrate advanced mission-critical features into the newly unveiled, compact, rugged HMD Terra M with pre-deployment beginning Q1 2026
HMD Secure, the European provider of rugged, sovereign mobile solutions for defence, public safety, enterprise and critical infrastructure, announces a strategic partnership with Eviden, the Atos Group product brand leading in advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI. Through this collaboration, Eviden’s Lifelink MCx Connect solution will be integrated directly into the new HMD Terra M and will be one of the first partner applications to come pre-deployed when the device becomes available in Q1 2026.
The partnership combines HMD Secure’s expertise in trusted rugged hardware with Eviden’s long-established leadership in broadband mission-critical communications to offer a complete, ready-to-use solution for field professionals who cannot afford communication failures. With Lifelink MCx Connect embedded at the device level, customers gain access to secure and reliable broadband voice, group communication, video and data services across public, private or hybrid LTE and 5G networks.
This fully integrated approach removes the need for complex installation or configuration. It ensures that organisations such as public safety agencies, utilities, transport operators, defence units and frontline field teams can put the HMD Terra M into use immediately and with confidence.
Anssi Rönnemaa, Chief Financial Officer of HMD, said: “Our new HMD Terra M phone is designed for professionals who need durability and simplicity at an accessible price point. By integrating Eviden’s Lifelink MCx Connect, we offer customers a complete solution that combines robust hardware with advanced communication capabilities, ensuring they stay connected when it matters most.”
