Rohde & Schwarz, one of the world's leading manufacturers of wireless communications solutions over more than 80 years, says that it not only stands for quality, precision and innovation in all fields of wireless communications but impresses one and all with its radio communication specialization.

Harald Goertz, MD of Rohde & Schwarz Saudi Arabia Ltd., told Arab News: "The company’s success is strategically based on five pillars of activities, which are test and measurement, broadcast and media, secure communications, cybersecurity as well as radiomonitoring and radiolocation.”

"Thanks to this successful strategy, the company is addressing diverse market segments, including wireless communications, the broadcasting and electronics industry, aerospace, defense, homeland security and critical infrastructures," he added.

The company presents a portfolio for secure and flexible air traffic control communication, ITU-compliant frequency monitoring systems and state-of-the-art broadcast solutions in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Gulf region.

Since its founding, the company's philosophy has been to have development and production close to each other, therefore, most products are manufactured close to the Munich headquarters.

He noted that its employees totaling 10,000, including 5,900 working in Germany alone, are the driving force in the company’s success.

"Thanks to its highly qualified employees, Rohde & Schwarz ranks among the technology leaders in all of its business fields," Goertz said.

“Our company’s corporate culture is characterized by flat hierarchies and a family-type atmosphere. We value in-house training reflecting the importance that Rohde & Schwarz attaches to continuing education," he said.

The company was ranked the second most popular employer in Germany in a 2014 survey of communication engineering students and also took second place in the electronics and electrical engineering category of a 2014 ranking of Germany's Best 370 Employers by Focus news magazine, he added.
