HMD Secure

HMD Secure Oy today takes a major step forward with the unveiling of its full 360° sovereign security platform and its flagship device, HMD Ivalo XE.

HMD Secure is a dedicated business unit and platform for European mobile security solutions, safeguarding governments, first responders, critical infrastructure and defence with secure fit-for-purpose devices, adaptable software, sovereign supply chains, and strategic partnerships.

At the centre of today’s announcement is the HMD Ivalo XE — one of the very few 5G devices designed, developed, and manufactured in Europe. Purpose-built for mission-critical operations, this device brings together European design and manufacturing, a secure supply chain, and EU-regulated data hosting, with innovation from industry leaders.

“Security has always been part of HMD’s DNA. With HMD Secure, we are taking this legacy further — creating a European-built device and platform that is resilient, traceable, and fit for purpose. The launch of the HMD Ivalo XE proves what is possible when innovation, sovereignty, and partnership come together, and we are proud to stand alongside our partners to deliver trusted solutions for the most critical missions,” said Jean-François Baril, Chairman and CEO of HMD.

Deep and trusted Partner Collaboration

“The security features built in the device are in a key role when providing absolute security for mobile communications. For Bittium and our customers, it is of utmost importance that the device design, manufacturing, and supply chain can be trusted. We have established a strategic partnership with HMD Secure, and our deep technology collaboration has enabled us to design and introduce a new device that meets the highest security requirements of our customers. Together, we ensure that 3rd parties cannot compromise the security of the device," Tommi Kangas, Senior Vice President, Defence & Security business segment at Bittium commented.

“Organizations operating in mission-critical environments require platforms that are not only powerful and connected, but also resilient and responsive to evolving operational demands,” said Art Miller, VP, business development, and head of retail, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “The Qualcomm Dragonwing™ Q-6690 processor integrates advanced wireless capabilities and AI-driven intelligence into a single, scalable solution, empowering teams to innovate with speed, precision, and improved reliability.” 

“At Juggernaut Case, our mission has always been to deliver combat-proven protection and mounting solutions for the world’s toughest environments. We are collaborating with HMD Secure to ensure seamless compatibility between the Ivalo XE and the Juggernaut.Case ecosystem of mounts, cases, and cable solutions. By focusing on interoperability, we can give defence, law enforcement, and first responders the confidence that their secure mobile technology integrates reliably into the equipment they already depend on in the field.” —  Randall Toltzman, Co-Founder, Juggernaut Case

“We look forward to working together with HMD Secure Oy to evaluate how Tutus secure operating system and our application platform capabilities can be integrated into this promising device and become the pinnacle of secure mobility made in Europe”, says Jens Bohlin CEO of Tutus.
