Rohde & Schwarz reports a good year

Technology company Rohde & Schwarz closed its 2020/21 fiscal year with €2.34 billion in revenue. Operating results were almost at the previous year’s level. The company exceeded its target values that had been adjusted to match market developments.

The year has included the further development of mobile communications up to 6G, T&M solutions for quantum computing, the IIoT, artificial intelligence and cloud technologies.

Rohde & Schwarz has designed solutions from V2X to 5G for automotive applications such as communications between vehicles and their surroundings and for the latest wireless communications standard in mobility. The company could further improve its position in this field with radar T&M instruments and systems. The global expansion of 5G networks continued unabated, generating high demand, in particular for user equipment testing in the frequency range up to 7 GHz.

The global expansion of 5G networks requires technical adaptations to network monitoring systems, driving demand for suitable solutions in the mobile network testing (MNT) market segment. Network operators and infrastructure providers worldwide utilised the test performance of Rohde & Schwarz solutions. A 5G campus network at one of its plants allows Rohde & Schwarz to directly optimise the implementation of real Industry 4.0 use cases.
