Rohde & Schwarz Highlights Airborne RF Spectrum Monitoring, AI and Make in India at India Mobile Congress 2026

Rohde & Schwarz, a global leader in RF and microwave test and measurement solutions, participated as an exhibitor at India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026, bringing attention to emerging technologies in spectrum monitoring, signal intelligence, artificial intelligence, and next-generation telecommunications.

During the event, Pranav Kinra, Senior Lead Project Engineer at Rohde & Schwarz, shared insights from discussions with industry leaders, policymakers, and defence stakeholders, highlighting three important technology trends shaping India's RF and wireless ecosystem.

One of the key areas discussed was airborne spectrum monitoring, where RF monitoring equipment is deployed on aerial platforms such as drones to improve situational awareness of the electromagnetic spectrum.

These systems can support spectrum surveillance, interference detection, signal identification, and monitoring across geographically challenging environments.

Another major takeaway was the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into RF signal analysis and automated surveillance.

AI-enabled approaches can help process large volumes of RF measurement data, identify signal patterns, and support more efficient spectrum monitoring and next-generation telecommunications operations.

The discussions also highlighted the growing importance of Make in India, particularly in indigenous manufacturing and domestic technology development.

Strengthening India's capabilities in RF electronics, telecommunications equipment, and defence systems remains an important priority for the country's technology ecosystem.

For India's RF and microwave engineering community, these developments highlight opportunities in RF spectrum monitoring, software-defined radio (SDR), electronic warfare, automated signal classification, and advanced test and measurement technologies.
