Over 100 years ago, the discovery of radio waves marked the start of a new era. At that time, our founders Lothar Rohde and Hermann Schwarz were still at school. They were immediately fascinated by this new technology and driven by a curiosity about the unprecedented possibilities it offered. A pioneering scientific spirit and entrepreneurial courage have always been the foundation for the success of Rohde & Schwarz: Driven by our passion for technology, we create the innovations that are highly relevant for a safer and connected world. Our mission is clear: make ideas real – yesterday, today and tomorrow.
