Rohde & Schwarz and Mesit have announced the establishment of a new joint venture (JV) with Mesit as the majority shareholder.
Named Dicom, the JV will enable the further enhancement of the SOVERON communications system.

‘With this JV, the Czech Republic becomes the fourth country in the world where Rohde & Schwarz has full presence in sales, service (Prague), manufacturing (Vimperk) and R&D (Uherské Hradiště).’
