NEWSGRAMS International Rohde & Schwarz supplies transmitter systems for first German DVB-T transmission region The Berlin metropolitan area is the first region in Germany to be converted from terrestrial analog to digital signal transmission. Broadcast specialist Rohde & Schwarz was awarded an exclusive contract to supply the required transmitter systems. Russian and German Ministers of the Interior visit Rohde & Schwarz To find out more about the latest technological developments in information and communication security, the Minister of the Interior of the Russian Federation, Boris W. Gryzlov, CD-ROM TIP and the German Minister of the Interior, Otto Schily, visited Rohde & Schwarz SIT in Berlin on 3 September 2002. The Russian Minister of the Interior was specially interested in TopSec GSM, the first tap-proof mobile phone, which is also used by various German governmental bodies and authorities, as well as the secure TETRA trunked radio networks, utilized by authorities and organizations responsible for security issues. Europe’s leading company in the field of crypto solutions briefed the two ministers about the latest means of protecting information and communication from unauthorized access or manipulation. T&M instruments and systems In the first phase, the Munichbased company will supply 13 new transmitters and modify the existing analog high-power transmitters so that they can be used for digital transmission. The DVB-T coverage of households is scheduled to be completed by August 2003. Digitization of terrestrial frequencies is more effective since more TV program channels can be transmitted on fewer frequencies and auxiliary services can be offered, e.g. electronic television magazines, as is already possible with cable and satellite TV. After the conversion, 30 TV channels instead of 12 can be received in Berlin by means of antennas. Since the frequency spectrum assigned to the broadcast corporations is not sufficient, simultaneous analog and digital operation is planned for a relatively short period of time. New 2003 Test & Measurement Products Catalog The new T&M catalog will soon be available from every Rohde & Schwarz representative. More than 500 pages in PDF format on a CD-ROM provide a comprehensive overview of all T&M products from Rohde & Schwarz and its cooperation partner Advantest. Tried-and-tested instruments are presented on the intuitive CD-ROM, as well as new mobile radio protocol testers of the R&S CRTU family for 3G, or the production test systems of the R&S TS7100 series. Numerous links allow convenient scrolling and browsing through the catalog. The chapters are organized by topic, e.g. mobile radio, EMC or power measurements, so that instruments and systems can be quickly searched for and found.

New nationwide police and security network for Austria R&S BICK Mobilfunk, a subsidiary of Rohde & Schwarz, has been awarded the contract to supply the new Austrian TETRA security radio network ADONIS (Austrian digital operating network for integrated services). Together with Siemens, the company will set up one of the largest digital trunked radio systems in Europe (total order volume ‡ 190 million) by the end of 2005. The first stage will be put into operation next year. In addition to the numerous small and medium-sized projects already carried out, this contract establishes Rohde & Schwarz, with its ACCESSNET ®-T technology, as the leading supplier for major TETRA projects. As part of the Schengen agreement, the European nations resolved to equip their security authorities with EU-standardized and -compatible digital trunked radio systems to enable smooth communication and cooperation among the authorities, if required. After numerous regional pilot projects and the start of network installations in Europe, the Austrian order marks the final breakthrough for TETRA technology. ADONIS is the largest security radio network ever to be set up in Central Europe. If the Federal Republic of Germany also decides in favour of this network, the security authorities on both sides of Germany’s longest border will be able to communicate with each other in the future by means of state-of-theart technology. The Austrian Ministry of the Interior has contracted the Viennese company Master-Talk to set up and operate the nationwide TETRA security radio network as part of an operating model. R&S BICK Mobilfunk and Siemens have now been commissioned to install the network. Both companies will set up more than 1200 TETRA stations nationwide by 2005 to provide a comprehensive communication network. R&S BICK Mobilfunk will supply the TETRA radio technology, while Siemens as the general contractor and system integrator will install the network. ”After numerous successful local TETRA projects in Germany and abroad, we are now able to demonstrate our competence for large-scale projects with this network installation in Austria,” says Heinz Bick, Managing Director of R&S BICK Mobilfunk (FIG). ”Our ACCESSNET ®-T TETRA technology has repeatedly proven itself in practice. We are therefore firmly convinced that our system is optimally suited for use as a German security network.” Electrical engineering graduates consider Rohde & Schwarz Germany‘s most popular employer among small to medium-sized firms According to the latest Access survey, Rohde & Schwarz is the most popular mediumsized employer among electrical engineering graduates in Germany. Rohde & Schwarz thus ranks ahead of companies such as Audi, Motorola or SAP. Only a few corporations and larger companies such as Siemens, DaimlerChrysler and BMW are considered more attractive by the graduates. In the overall ranking of all German companies, Rohde & Schwarz is the 14th most popular employer. While Rohde & Schwarz ranked number 23 among all German companies last year, its appeal as a potential employer climbed to position 14 this year. This is not only due to recruiting efforts, but also reflects a general trend in which graduates are increasingly deciding in favour of small to medium-sized companies to start their careers. Priorities have changed, too: While a high salary was the determining factor several years ago, job diversity and personal development have now become more important. The opportunity to develop their own ideas and state-of-the-art technologies are factors that graduates rate highly at Rohde & Schwarz. New subsidiary in Mexico Rohde & Schwarz has now set up a new subsidiary in Mexico. Founding the Rohde & Schwarz de México S. de R.L. de C.V. subsidiary reaffirms the high importance attached to the Latin American market. The office is located in the German Centre in Santa Fé and offers Mexican customers the complete Rohde & Schwarz product portfolio from T&M instruments and systems through broadcasting to radiocommunication and radiomonitoring. The first customer seminars will take place by the end of this year. The new subsidiary can be contacted as follows: Rohde&Schwarz de México S. de R.L. de C.V. German Centre, Oficina 4-2-2 Av.
