More About Rohde & Schwarz

Rohde & Schwarz focuses on electronic test and measurement, secure communications, broadcast and media, network monitoring and analytics, and cybersecurity, serving enterprises, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), equipment manufacturers, public authorities, and defense organizations. Its portfolio is structured around RF and microwave engineering, protocol analysis, signal processing, and IT security, with hardware and software that support planning, deployment, and operation of complex communications and IT infrastructures.

In test and measurement (test & measurement), Rohde & Schwarz provides instruments and software for RF, microwave, and digital designs used in wireless communications, aerospace and defense, automotive, and electronics manufacturing. These products support technologies such as 5G and Long Term Evolution (LTE), Wi‑Fi, GNSS, radar, and high‑speed digital interfaces. Architectures commonly involved include phased‑array radar, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and beamforming systems, and high‑speed serial buses. Enterprise and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) users employ these tools in Research and Development (R&D) labs, production test environments, and field validation to characterize signal integrity, verify protocol conformance, and monitor spectrum usage.

In secure communications (secure communications), Rohde & Schwarz develops radio and communication systems for land, Adaptive Incident Response (AIR), and naval platforms, including secure voice and data transmission over HF, VHF/UHF, and IP networks. These offerings are used in defense, public safety, and AIR traffic control environments, and are associated with standards and protocols such as IP-based networking, software-defined radio concepts, and encryption for classified and mission‑critical communications. Integration into command‑and‑control architectures and interoperability with existing radio infrastructures are central deployment aspects.

Broadcast and media solutions (broadcast & media) from Rohde & Schwarz cover TV and radio transmitters, playout and ingest systems, storage for media workflows, and monitoring for broadcast networks. These systems support digital broadcasting standards and file‑based media production workflows, enabling content contribution, processing, and distribution for terrestrial, satellite, cable, and IP‑based delivery. Broadcasters and media service providers use these platforms to manage end‑to‑end workflows from content creation to transmission and quality assurance.

In network analytics and mobile network testing (network analytics), Rohde & Schwarz provides solutions that measure and analyze the performance of cellular and IP networks from lab to field. These tools capture KPIs such as coverage, throughput, latency, and quality of experience for services like voice, video, and data, and are applied in drive testing, benchmarking, and network optimization. They support technologies including 5G 5G New Radio (NR), LTE, and Wi‑Fi, and are used by MNOs, regulators, and infrastructure vendors.

Cybersecurity offerings (cybersecurity) from Rohde & Schwarz address network encryption, application protection, and secure gateways for enterprises and government agencies. These products are aligned with common IT and network architectures, including Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunneling, secure web access, and hardened operating environments for critical infrastructure and classified networks. The company positions these solutions to protect data in transit and at rest, secure access to applications, and meet compliance requirements for information security and privacy.
