R&S described the acquisition as enabling both companies to continue development of their “first‑rate analysis platforms” in a synergistic fashion.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The move aligns with R&S’s broader strategy of reinforcing its capabilities in cybersecurity, monitoring and analytics for regulated industries and government customers.
