A tradition of innovation
Innovation has been part of us since the very beginning. The company founders Dr. Lothar Rohde and Dr. Hermann Schwarz were technological pioneers. With their hands-on entrepreneurial spirit, the two university friends entered the unexplored field of RF engineering. Today, the company is still pushing technological boundaries – as a successful shaper of cutting-edge technologies. The core business encompasses a broad portfolio: test and measurement equipment for a wide range of markets such as wireless and automotive as well as solutions for critical infrastructures, aviation and defense, network security and cybersecurity, and broadcast. The future technologies in which Rohde & Schwarz is involved include millimeterwave technology (mmWave), non-terrestrial networks (NTN), the next generation of wireless communications standards (6G), artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced semiconductor and quantum technology.
Globally positioned with German roots
Rohde & Schwarz is present in more than 70 countries, including many European countries, the USA, Singapore, other Asian countries and Africa. The company has always covered a significant share of its value chain in-house. This is a major advantage, especially when volatile markets and supply chains as well as geopolitical uncertainties pose significant economic and industrial challenges. We develop most of our products in Germany. Moreover, we have subsidiaries and locations around the world that focus primarily on developing innovative cutting-edge technologies.
Innovative cutting-edge technology and stability thanks to a high degree of vertical integration
A unique degree of vertical integration not only allows Rohde & Schwarz to maintain high quality standards, but also enables the company to respond quickly and flexibly to customer needs. Even key components such as microelectronics and ASICs are developed and produced in-house. This philosophy of a high level of vertical integration in the company reduces the risk of losing expertise and minimizes our reliance on suppliers.
Its global footprint, close proximity to customers and unique degree of vertical integration make us – Rohde & Schwarz – a consistently reliable, trustworthy and relevant partner – for a safer and connected world.
