VíceDICOM Field Day 2022
In the second week of June, the traditional event DICOM Field Day 2022 took place. This company-wide event is held each time on the occasion of a major release of the RF40 software and is attended by all company employees as well as interested partners and external collaborators. The main objective is to thoroughly test the radio software in real field conditions, to test new features, user friendliness and informativeness of the user interface. During the test, a natural reconfiguration of networks takes place, their disconnection and connection, continuous topology changes, voice and data communication with multiple automatic retransmissions. All operational data are recorded in detailed logs for later detailed evaluation of hardware and software behavior.
As a side effect, all DICOM staff and external collaborators are thoroughly familiarized with the final product, its actual use, operation and features. The team building effect of such an event is also not negligible.
Big project in Asia
Earlier this year, a team of DICOM staff participated in large-scale military trials in an Asian country. These trials were part of the decision-making process in a complex tender to upgrade tactical communications systems.
The course of the trials was extremely intense, with hundreds of tests over a fortnight in a variety of environments, configurations, terrain and climatic conditions, involving dozens of people and several tonnes of equipment. Our radios have operated in mountainous terrain, seashores, through urban developments, inside buildings, through jungles, and have been installed on vehicles, aircraft and naval vessels. Open and encrypted voice communications, data communications, long distance interlinks using multi-hop microwave networks, large-scale MANETs, interoperability tests with legacy equipment, and laboratory tests including water tightness, power output, and purity of the frequency spectrum have been tested.
The tests were very successful, with the vast majority of the operational requirements set by the user being met by our radios, plus it was a great experience and another great opportunity for us to validate the capabilities of our radios in difficult operating conditions.
Rohde & Schwarz and MESIT jointly invest in secure communications solutions and form DICOM
“Many defence forces around the world use cutting-edge solutions from Rohde & Schwarz. We are looking forward to expanding our presence in the Czech Republic. This new JV will create new technological advances, allowing us to provide digital sovereignty to our customers,”

Praha, München, 18 September 2019 – Rohde & Schwarz and MESIT have established a new joint venture (JV) with MESIT as the majority shareholder. The strategic purpose is to further enhance the trusted, interoperable SOVERON communications system. SOVERON stands for fully integrated, high-performance and scalable trusted communications solutions for all branches of the armed forces. SOVERON strengthens customers digital sovereignty and gives them the greatest possible independence from manufacturers.
The JV is named DICOM, s.r.o. and has commercial operations in Uherské Hradiště in the Czech Republic. DICOM will perform advanced research and development (R&D). It will initially focus on the new SOVERON lightweight handheld software defined radio (SDR) with networking and multiband capability in the UHF/VHF frequency range.
“We are delighted with this joint investment. The creation of DICOM allows both partner companies to accelerate the development and production of the SOVERON product portfolio. With this JV, the Czech Republic becomes the fourth country in which Rohde & Schwarz is represented in sales, service (Prague), manufacturing (Vimperk) and R&D (Uherské Hradiště),” explains Pavel Šalanda, Managing Director at DICOM.
“MESIT and Rohde & Schwarz have already successfully co-operated in the past. Now we are taking the next logical step by joining forces in R&D to take full advantage of our joint capacities. Together we will be able to successfully address new markets,” adds Igor Gerek, Managing Director at DICOM and Deputy Charmain of the Board at MESIT.
