Company history

In March 2010 SwissQual announced they had carried out network quality drive testing on the world's first commercial LTE network, TeliaSonera in Sweden.[3]

In July 2012, SwissQual became a wholly independent subsidiary of Rohde & Schwarz.[4] R&S is a German testing equipment manufacturer.
