Switzerland uses new R&S ESMW

Significant number of recently launched R&S ESMW ultra wideband monitoring receivers from Rohde & Schwarz will be used by Swiss Federal Office of Communications to monitor the Swiss RF spectrum, now and in the future.

Rohde & Schwarz has delivered a significant number of R&S ESMW ultra wide band monitoring receivers to the Swiss Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) in the frame of the WTO Project “New receivers for the quality assurance in the frequency spectrum”. The Swiss regulator will use the receivers to improve and expand their spectrum monitoring capabilities and to address future trends and challenges.

Seeing the need for high performance next generation spectrum monitoring solutions, Rohde & Schwarz recently launched the R&S ESMW. This new solution significantly differs from existing market solutions and combines state-of-the-art technology with intuitive operation for regulatory and security authorities, critical infrastructure operators, intelligence agencies and armed forces.

Rohde & Schwarz, as one of the market leaders for frequency monitoring solutions, consistently offers highly innovative solutions in the framework of Confederation’s tenders. R&S ESMW receivers are a convincing solution that will support OFCOM in meeting the current and future challenges in increasingly complex spectrum monitoring.

“Rohde & Schwarz is delighted to supply OFCOM with the latest spectrum monitoring technology,” says Anne Stephan, Vice President Critical Infrastructure & Network, Rohde & Schwarz. “The exceptional ITU-compliant RF performance, modular upgrade capability and rich feature set make R&S ESMW a highly reliable and innovative solution for all current and future ITU compliant monitoring tasks.”
