Named Dicom, the JV will enable the further enhancement of the SOVERON communications system.

Dicom has commercial operations in Uherské Hradiště in the Czech Republic.

‘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).’
