LANCOM Systems and Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity join forces as Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity

Rohde & Schwarz has merged its subsidiaries LANCOM Systems and Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity into a single company, Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity GmbH, effective 1 July 2026. The new company combines the expertise of two leading German manufacturers of enterprise networking and cybersecurity. The LANCOM brand is retained and remains a central pillar of its product portfolio.

The merger is part of a wider growth strategy of the Rohde & Schwarz group. It strengthens the ability to deliver complete networking, security and infrastructure management solutions “Engineered in Germany” and gives companies and organisations a strong European alternative to non-European technology manufacturers.

Digital sovereignty: a strategic necessity for Europe

At a time when data protection, the security of critical infrastructure and independence from third countries matter more and more, digital sovereignty is at the centre of Europe’s technology strategy.

Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity was created to offer complete solutions that are designed, developed and supported in Europe, comply fully with European security and data protection standards and meet the growing requirements of businesses, public bodies and critical infrastructure.

Bringing the two companies together creates one of Europe’s strongest providers of:

• Enterprise networking
• Secure branch connectivity
• SD-WAN
• Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 7
• Network access control
• Secure remote access
• Next-generation firewalls
• Unified threat management
• Cybersecurity for critical infrastructure

with a particular focus on the European market and on organisations that need full control over their digital infrastructure.
