Various application scenarios have been validated in field tests using our equipment,” said Manfred Reitmeier, vice president broadcast and amplifier systems at Rohde & Schwarz. “Now it is time to enter the next phase, developing business cases and preparing network plannings.”  

The company will show its R&S TH1 software-defined transmitter. Offering agile support across a wide range of formats, including 5G Broadcast, the transmitter is engineered with performance, sustainability, resilience and efficiency in mind, it said.

"The media industry is confronted with significant challenges in audience behavior and technological transformation," said Thorsten Sauer, vice president media solutions at Rohde & Schwarz. "This is why our portfolio is focused on flexible solutions providing the highest degree of operational resilience and security.”  

The company will also exhibit its entire product line addressing the business and technical challenges facing the media industry.
