Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity

LANCOM Systems is entering a new chapter. Effective July 1, 2026, the company has been renamed Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity, bringing together the expertise of two Rohde & Schwarz Group companies in networking infrastructure and cybersecurity. For Kappa Data partners, this is much more than a name change—it represents an expanded portfolio and an even stronger focus on digital sovereignty, security, and enterprise-class networking and cybersecurity solutions.

More Than a Rebranding

The name change is far more than a marketing exercise.

The creation of Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity is the result of merging two companies within the Rohde & Schwarz Group:

• LANCOM Systems
• Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity

The new organization combines decades of expertise in networking infrastructure with advanced cybersecurity and data encryption capabilities, creating one of Europe’s leading providers of networking and security solutions.

Europe’s Response to Growing Market Demands

With regulations such as NIS2 becoming increasingly important, growing requirements for data protection, and organizations seeking to reduce their dependence on non-European technologies, businesses are looking beyond product functionality. Today, they also consider where solutions are designed, developed, and operated.

Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity addresses these challenges by developing its software, designing its hardware, and operating its cloud services in Germany.

At the heart of the company’s strategy lies a clear commitment to Digital Sovereignty.

Trusted Network Solutions

The company’s new positioning is reflected in its tagline:

Trusted Network Solutions for Business and Government

This is no coincidence. Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity serves enterprises, public sector organizations, and customers operating in highly regulated environments with stringent security and compliance requirements.

The portfolio includes:

• LAN networking
• WLAN infrastructure
• SD-WAN
• SD-LAN
• SD-WLAN
• Firewalls
• Secure remote access
• Zero Trust solutions
• Network encryption
• R&S LANCOM Management Cloud

Security Backed by Certification

Trust is one of the core pillars of the company’s new brand positioning.

This commitment is reinforced by internationally recognized certifications and standards, including:

• ISO/IEC 27001 certification
• Certifications from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI)
• IT Security made in Germany quality label
• A comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS)

These credentials are particularly valuable for public sector organizations and businesses working to meet NIS2 and other regulatory requirements.

What Does This Mean for Kappa Data Partners?

For Kappa Data partners, the transition means access to an even broader portfolio of networking and cybersecurity solutions supported by a unified technology strategy.

At the same time, all the qualities that made LANCOM Systems a trusted vendor remain unchanged:

• Development and support based in Europe
• Long product life cycles
• Regular security updates
• A 100% channel-focused business model
• High-quality technical support

Kappa Data and Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity

As an authorized distributor, Kappa Data supports partners not only by providing access to Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity solutions, but also through solution design, technical training, pre-sales consulting, workshops, and business development initiatives.

The new brand represents the beginning of a new chapter with a shared goal: helping organizations across Europe build secure, modern, and digitally sovereign network infrastructures.

Editor’s Note: This article explains the strategic background behind the transition from LANCOM Systems to Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity. Rather than simply announcing a name change, our goal is to help partners understand what this transformation means for their business and how it aligns with key industry trends such as NIS2, Digital Sovereignty, and trusted European networking solutions.
