Low-Power Wireless Communication Module Integration

The contract is for the supply and integration of low-power wireless communication modules capable of supporting Iridium, LTE-M, Wi-Fi, and USB interfaces to enable reliable remote data transmission in austere environments. This subcontract is issued by the Department of National Defence under the Government of Canada and falls under the NAICS code 334220, which pertains to communications equipment manufacturing. The modules must be designed for minimal power consumption while maintaining robust connectivity across multiple global and regional networks, ensuring mission-critical data can be transmitted securely and efficiently from remote locations. Integration requirements include seamless interoperability with existing Canadian defense systems and adherence to strict durability and operational standards for deployment across the National Capital Region and beyond. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of August 26, 2026, with the solicitation posted on August 7, 2026. The place of performance is designated as the National Capital Region in Canada, though the devices may be deployed nationally or internationally depending on operational needs. There is no set-aside classification specified, indicating this opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. Technical solutions must demonstrate proven performance under low-power conditions and support continuous operation without frequent maintenance or battery replacement. Compliance with Canadian government cybersecurity and telecommunications protocols is expected, and successful bidders will be expected to provide documentation, testing evidence, and support for full system integration.
