Munich/Barcelona/Cork, March 5, 2026 – With the acquisition of Software Radio Systems (SRS), Rohde & Schwarz is expanding its software defined radio (SDR) technology portfolio, strengthening its position in the market for mobile- and radio-communications software, especially in the emerging fields of non-terrestrial networks (NTN) and 6G. The acquisition became effective as of March 5, 2026. Founded in 2012, and headquartered in Ireland, with branches in Barcelona and the USA, SRS has grown from a startup into a globally recognized innovator in mobile and radiocommunications software. The company has established itself as a key player in a highly competitive market through deep technical expertise, product innovation and a strong commitment to open and interoperable network architectures.
By integrating SRS, Rohde & Schwarz decisively expands its capabilities in software defined radio technology to better serve existing market segments and tap new business opportunities. At the same time, SRS enters a new phase of accelerated growth. With access to deep technical resources from Rohde & Schwarz, global reach and long-term strategic stability, SRS is ideally positioned to scale its technology, expand internationally and execute its long-term mission. The combination of Rohde & Schwarz leadership in test and measurement and RAN expertise from SRS creates powerful synergies that will further advance software defined mobile network solutions.
Goce Talaganov, Vice President Mobile Radio Testers at Rohde & Schwarz, explains: "I am very pleased that Software Radio Systems is becoming part of the Rohde & Schwarz group. SRS combines extensive telecommunications and wireless expertise with agile software development, making it the ideal complement to our mobile radio testing portfolio, which will benefit the customers of both companies. What SRS and its employees have built up over the past few years is a real success story that you don’t often see. From now on, we will work together to push the boundaries of the technically possible even further, to leverage new synergies and to make an impact on the market."
Paul Sutton, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Software Radio Systems, is ready for the future. "Joining the Rohde & Schwarz group is a proud moment for everyone at SRS. We will continue to operate as SRS with our existing leadership team and a clear commitment to our strategic priorities. What changes is our ability to scale with speed and accelerate the execution of our roadmap, including key initiatives such as the OCUDU project. With Rohde & Schwarz, we gain the strength of a global technology leader whose deep technical expertise, worldwide presence and long-term perspective enables us to grow faster and think bigger. Together, we will expand the impact of our software-defined solutions and deliver innovation that truly makes a difference for our customers.”
The management team at Software Radio Systems, Paul Sutton, Ismael Gomez and Andre Puschmann, will remain. Together with their team at SRS and their new colleagues at Rohde & Schwarz they will drive innovation in software-defined mobile communications and contribute to the long-term success of the group.
