From Bangkok to the World: Central Park Unveils “Bangkok’s World Stage” as Its Next Global Ambition
BANGKOK, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Central Pattana celebrates the first anniversary of Central Park Shopping Centre (Central Park Bangkok), marking a significant milestone for its world-class retail destination in the heart of Bangkok and unveiling its next ambition: “Bangkok’s World Stage” – positioning Central Park Bangkok as a global platform that connects Bangkok with international brands, creativity, culture and audiences. In its first year, Central Park Bangkok welcomed more than 25 million visits, including over 10 million visits from international tourists, placing the destination among the top-tier performers in Central Pattana’s portfolio.
Located at the strategic intersection of Silom–Rama IV, overlooking Lumpini Park, Central Park Bangkok was conceived as a destination shaped specifically for Bangkok. Its first year has demonstrated the potential of next-generation retail to go beyond shopping by bringing together new-to-market concepts, cultural experiences, world-class design and the everyday lifestyles of the city’s people.
Central Park Bangkok’s success is driven by three key strategies. Curated Newness introduces global firsts, exclusive concepts and new formats, creating reasons to visit and return. A People-led Cultural Stage draws on the surrounding neighbourhood, connecting brands, artists and creative platforms to create cultural moments. Design for Bangkok combines global design expertise with the context of Silom, Rama IV and Lumpini Park, creating a world-class destination with a distinct Bangkok identity.
Building on its first-year momentum, Central Park Bangkok is moving forward through three global directions: Global Firsts, bringing international brands, artists and experiences to Bangkok; Global Culture, creating a stage for art, music, design and cross-cultural creativity; and Global Audience, connecting with international visitors, global creators and partners while strengthening Central Park Bangkok’s role as Bangkok’s World Stage, representing contemporary Bangkok and Thailand to the world.
Central Park Shopping Centre is part of Dusit Central Park, a fully integrated mixed-use development combining retail, offices, hotel, residences and more than seven rai of urban green space. Together, these components create an ecosystem where work, living, hospitality, leisure and city life converge.
With “Bangkok’s World Stage,” Central Park Bangkok’s next chapter extends beyond the success of a retail destination. Its ambition is to create a platform where the world can experience Bangkok – and where Bangkok’s creativity, culture and contemporary lifestyle can connect with the world.

Dubai Freehold Rental Pace Continues Towards New Record
Dubai South the best-performing area in off-plan sales for sixth month in succession
Dubai, UAE, Sept 10: The pace of new and renewed rental contracts recorded in Dubai’s freehold areas continues to increase as the property market moves steadily towards an all-time record in 2026.
A market analysis from fäm Properties today shows that 39,645 rental contracts were registered across Dubai’s freehold areas in August, a 3.79% MoM increase. The volume of new contracts climbed 19.4% YoY to 20,611, while renewals increase by 4.4% YoY to 19,034.
This takes the total number of freehold rental contracts recorded for the first eight months in 2026 to 257,284, a 5.5% increase on the same period in 2025 which ultimately set a full-year record of 377,944 registered contracts.
To date this year, the leading area of Dubai in freehold rentals is Al Warsan First, with a total of 23,894 registered tenancy contracts. Underlining a consistent apartments preference in the market, 105,880 (41%) tenancy contracts registered were for one-bedroom units.
Meanwhile, Data from DXBinteract shows that the market delivered 12,018 sales transactions valued at AED28.6 billion last month. Once again off plan sales dominated with 8,359 transactions worth AED 16.3 billion compared with 3,659 valued at AED12.4 billion in the resale market.
For a sixth consecutive month, Dubai South was the emirate’s best-performing area in primary market sales volume, recording 1,908 off-plan transactions worth AED2.3 billion.
“The rental market is an important indicator of how committed people are to living and working in Dubai, regardless of regional uncertainties over the last months,” said Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties. “The volume of new contracts in part reflects the fact that tenants are moving to take advantage of lower rents in some areas, which is natural in the circumstances.”
August recorded 9,974 apartment sales worth AED 15.7 billion, alongside 1,354 villa sales worth AED 7.9 billion, 183 plot sales valued at AED2.6 billion, and 420 commercial transactions, including offices and shops, worth AED AED1.5 billion.
The most expensive apartment sold in August went for AED86 million at The Address, Jumeirah Gate Tower 2 at Jumeirah Beach, while the most expensive villa fetched AED110 million at Signature Villas.
With properties worth more than AED5 million accounting for 5.7% of sales, 7.25% were between AED3-5 million, 10.9% between AED2-3 million, 33.2% between AED1-2 million and 42.8% were below AED1 million.

Talogy assessment tool recognized for its contribution to building workplace resilience
New book on resilience, written by leading experts on the psychology of lawyer behavior, credits 30 years of Talogy’s Caliper Profile
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Talogy, a global leader in talent management solutions, has been recognized for its pivotal role in advancing workplace resilience research in a new book Thin-Skinned: Why Lawyers Are So Low in Resilience and the New Science That Can Help.
Published by the American Bar Association, the book by leading legal psychology experts Dr. Larry Richard and Dr. D’Arcy Lyness credits 30 years of data from Talogy’s Caliper profile assessment as the foundation for its insights into high-stakes workforce performance.
Drawing from a database of 4.5 million Caliper assessments, the book highlights a central workplace paradox: the very traits required for exceptional job performance are often the exact traits that leave professionals vulnerable to stress. Specifically, Dr. Richard’s data shows that lawyers average just 30% on resilience, compared to 50% for the general public, with nine out of 10 scoring in the bottom half of the resilience scale. This is a pattern that has remained unchanged since 1994.
“In the three decades that we have been evaluating and coaching legal professionals, we have seen a clear pattern,” said Dr. Larry Richard. “Law schools admit, firms hire and clients reward individuals who demonstrate high skepticism, high urgency, high self-reliance and an intolerance for error. While those traits produce stronger legal documents and won cases, our research shows they also predict rumination, defensiveness, isolation and difficulty coping with criticism, stress and change.”
This dynamic extends far beyond law. Any workforce that hires and promotes for vigilance, perfection and precision under pressure faces the same risks, such as manufacturing safety leads, ICU charge nurses, compliance officers, federal investigators or public safety supervisors.
By using Talogy’s assessment data to view resilience as a measurable trait rather than a temporary mood, leaders across all organizations can act on three core operational insights:
- Early risk detection: Identify psychological risk factors before they lead to turnover, prolonged absences, or safety incidents.
- Separating skill from leadership: Recognize that a top individual performer is not automatically equipped to be a resilient leader.
- Actionable intervention: Address workforce vulnerabilities directly using science-backed development strategies.
“The Caliper Profile measures the innate personality traits and behavioral motivations that dictate how individuals process stress, setbacks, and criticism,” said Nataliya Baytalskaya, Ph.D. and Managing Research Scientist at Talogy. “Low resilience is not a barrier, it is a developmental opportunity. By leveraging objective measurement, organizations can deploy targeted, evidence-based strategies that help high-performing teams adapt under pressure without sacrificing their operational edge.”
Authors to participate in exclusive LinkedIn Live session, September 30 at 12pm ET
Dr. Larry Richard and Dr. D’Arcy Lyness will join Talogy for a 30 minute conversation to uncover what the science of resilience can teach us about building stronger, more sustainable high-performing teams. Sign up.

Dr Hanan H. Balkhy Launches Candidacy for WHO Director-General, Pledges “A WHO the World Can Count On”
- Nominated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
- A physician trained in Saudi Arabia and the United States, with more than 30 years of experience spanning clinical medicine, academic research and international public health leadership
- WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean sets out a three-part platform for a more trusted, prepared and accountable World Health Organization
- Record of delivery includes mobilising more than US$1.6 billion in additional programme resources for polio and emergencies
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dr Hanan H. Balkhy, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, announced her candidacy for Director-General of the World Health Organization, having been nominated for the role by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, pledging to build “a WHO the world can count on.”
“The world needs a WHO it can count on, that means decisions grounded in science and transparency; an Organization that is prepared before crises strike and decisive when they do; and a WHO that turns universal health coverage from a global commitment into something people experience in their everyday lives.”
“I have spent my career confronting health threats, strengthening health systems and leading through crises. I have worked and led across WHO at every level – country, regional and global – and I understand both what Member States need from the Organization and what it takes to deliver for them. I also know the difference strong institutions can make when they are trusted, prepared and focused on delivery.”
“My candidacy is a commitment to the transformational change WHO now needs: earning Trust through science and stewardship, delivering Impact through preparedness and country-led action, and demonstrating Value through measurable results. Above all, it means keeping people at the centre of global health.”
A physician with more than three decades of experience spanning clinical medicine, academic research and international public health leadership, Dr Hanan H. Balkhy has built her career from the bedside to the highest offices of global health.
She currently leads WHO’s operations across 22 Member States and more than 750 million people as Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean, having previously served as WHO’s first-ever Assistant Director-General for Antimicrobial Resistance and as a member of the Organization’s Global Policy Group.
Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Health, H.E. Fahad Abdulrahman AlJalajel, said: “Dr Balkhy is one of the world’s foremost public health experts. She has dedicated her career to advancing global health, and she brings the fresh thinking, proven leadership, and record of results that this moment demands”
Her candidacy comes at a pivotal moment for WHO, as the Organization moves from negotiation to implementation of the Pandemic Agreement, works to strengthen its financing base, and responds to growing calls from Member States for greater country ownership of health priorities.
Dr Balkhy has begun a programme of international visits, meeting government officials, health leaders and frontline practitioners around the world. Most recently she attended the WHO Regional Committee Meeting for Africa in Ethiopia and the one for the Southeast Asia in Timor Leste. She will be at the UNGA and in Washington D.C. later this month for national and multilateral engagements.
Dr Hanan H. Balkhy has built her career from the bedside to the highest levels of global health leadership, working across diverse health systems and political contexts. Trained in Saudi Arabia and the United States, with leadership experience spanning Saudi Arabia, the Eastern Mediterranean Region and WHO headquarters in Geneva, she brings a rare breadth of clinical, scientific and institutional experience to the role. Throughout her career, she has bridged science and policy, linking crisis response with long-term health-system strengthening and a focus on measurable results.
Long before COVID-19, she was working on the frontlines of MERS-CoV, helping to build Saudi Arabia’s national infection prevention programme, strengthen its research capacity and lead the country’s first Phase I clinical vaccine trial.
Dr Balkhy’s platform is built on three priorities:
1. Built on TRUST – A WHO the world can count on – Restoring scientific authority, strengthening accountability and protecting WHO’s independence.
2. Driven by IMPACT – A WHO that is there when it matters – Strengthening preparedness, responding faster to health emergencies and supporting countries when crises strike.
3. Measured by VALUE – A WHO that delivers measurable results – Advancing universal health coverage, strengthening country capacity and demonstrating the value of every resource entrusted to it.
Dr Balkhy said she was deeply grateful to the Kingdom, to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for the nomination, which reflects their leadership in, and commitment to, global health for all.

Qubo takes its “Doesn’t Just Record. It Protects” campaign to OOH with larger-than-life Installations
Gurugram, September 10, 2026: Qubo, the smart devices brand from the Hero Group – best known for its Security Cameras and Dashcams, is taking its brand promise off the screen and onto the streets of Gurugram through larger-than-life OOH installations of its flagship products, bringing its campaign line, “Doesn‘t Just Record. It Protects.,” to life in a way audiences can actually watch in motion. The campaign brings together Qubo’s connected security portfolio, spanning AI-Powered Security Cameras and Smart Dashcams, and reflects the brand’s broader vision of giving consumers technology that can actively help protect what matters – at home, on the road and even when they are away.
Taking its campaign offline with OOH, Qubo’s installations on Golf Course Road, Gurugram, features its Outdoor 360° Smart Security Camera and 4G Dashcam bringing its everyday security proposition to life. The Outdoor 360° Smart Security Camera installation, in particular, turns heads with illuminated lights and a motorised pan movement that mirrors the scanning motion of the actual device. As the camera moves and scans its surroundings, the billboard goes beyond being a conventional static display to create a more dynamic, real-world demonstration of how technology can actively monitor and respond to its surroundings. Bringing together everyday security needs, protecting personal spaces and staying safer on the road, the execution uses a high-traffic urban setting to make the category more visible and relatable to consumers.
Both these products are part of Qubo’s growing portfolio of smart security devices, powered by its proprietary AI Guard technology that transforms these cameras from passive recording devices to active protectors armed with advanced capabilities including AI-powered person / motion detection, instant alerts and automatic alarms.
Speaking about this leg of the campaign, Mr. Nikhil Rajpal, Founder s CEO Qubo shared, “The execution brings the idea of “Doesn’t Just Record. It Protects.” to life in a simple yet impactful way – a security camera that doesn’t just sit and watch, but appears to actively look around and protect. Our products go beyond what their conventional counterparts can do, and we wanted our communication to follow the same philosophy – going beyond the conventional to create something that truly stands out.”
Rather than focusing on individual product features, “Doesn’t Just Record. It Protects.” reflects Qubo’s larger vision for how security technology is evolving from simply documenting what happens to helping people understand, anticipate and respond to what’s happening around them.
Currently live at key locations across Gurugram, the campaign brings this idea to life through high-impact installations and will extend to other cities. At its core, Qubo believes the future of connected security is about moving from simply recording what happens to actively protecting what matters most, in real time.

Kramer unveils new premium Dante-enabled speaker range ahead of InfoComm India 2026 – latest AVoIP portfolio on show in Mumbai
Expanded range of passive and Dante-enabled speakers delivers premium sound, flexible deployment and simplified installation across meeting spaces, education, hospitality and more. Kramer will also be showcasing its comprehensive AVoIP portfolio, with the new KDS-17 Lite making its debut, alongside KDS-17, KDS-100 and ZeeVee SDVoE solutions.
Mumbai, India – Sept 10 – Kramer, a leading company in audio-visual experiences, is excited to announce it will be showcasing an expanded portfolio of premium professional speakers at India’s premier professional AV event, InfoComm India 2026, in Mumbai, including a new range of Dante-enabled models that extend the company’s range of networked audio solutions.
Exhibiting on booth L01 at the Jio World Convention Centre (Sept 16-18) – alongside thousands of technology leaders shaping the future of professional audiovisual and integrated experience solutions across India and South Asia – visitors will also experience Kramer’s latest AVoIP portfolio, with the new KDS-17 Lite making its debut, addressing a broad range of applications, performance requirements and budgets.
“Our customers and partners in India are designing AV systems for an incredibly diverse range of environments, and they need audio solutions that can adapt to those different requirements,” said Kirti Shetti, India Sales Director, Kramer.
An Expanded Range of Networked Audio Options
Spanning ceiling, wall-mounted, all-weather and pendant speakers in multiple form factors, Kramer’s growing portfolio combines premium sound quality, flexible deployment and integrator-friendly installation. With both passive and Dante-enabled options, the range gives system integrators greater flexibility to design audio solutions for a wide variety of environments, from meeting and collaboration spaces and education to hospitality, retail and other commercial applications.
The latest additions expand Kramer’s range of PoE-powered Dante speakers, providing system integrators with more options when designing modern networked AV environments. By carrying audio and power over the network, the Dante-enabled models help reduce cabling requirements and installation complexity while providing the flexibility and scalability of IP-based audio distribution.
A key advantage of the portfolio is the ability to combine networked and traditional audio within the same project. Dante-enabled speakers are complemented by corresponding passive models with the same industrial design and sound profile, allowing integrators to mix and match passive and Dante speakers while maintaining consistent audio performance and a cohesive look throughout the installation.
This flexibility enables integrators to select the most appropriate audio architecture for each space and project rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Premium Sound Across Different Environments
Designed for professional AV applications, Kramer’s speakers deliver high-quality, consistent audio with a strong focus on speech intelligibility and background music reproduction.
Advanced sound dispersion helps provide even audio coverage throughout the room, minimizing dead spots and helping ensure that speech, presentations and music can be heard clearly.
With multiple speaker types, sizes and deployment options, the portfolio can address the different requirements of corporate meeting and collaboration rooms, classrooms and higher-education environments, hospitality venues, retail spaces and other commercial applications.
Kramer has developed the speaker portfolio not only around audio performance, but also around the practical needs of the professionals who design, install and support AV systems.
Designed with System Integrators in Mind
Integrator-friendly features help simplify deployment and ongoing support. These include front-access wiring for ceiling speakers, designed to make installation easier, alongside centralized speaker utility software that supports configuration and troubleshooting.
Multiple form factors and mounting options give integrators additional freedom to adapt their audio design to the architectural, aesthetic and technical requirements of each environment.
Kirti Shetti, India Sales Director, Kramer, added: “By expanding our speaker portfolio, particularly our range of Dante-enabled models, we’re giving system integrators more flexibility to choose the right approach for each project. Whether it’s a meeting room, a classroom, a hospitality environment or a larger commercial space, the goal is the same: great sound combined with solutions that are simple to design, install and manage.”
Complete 1G and 10G AVoIP portfolio
Kramer will also showcase its comprehensive AVoIP portfolio at InfoComm India 2026, bringing together multiple 1G and 10G technologies to address a broad range of applications, performance requirements and budgets.
Visitors will experience Kramer’s 1G solutions, including KDS-17 and KDS-100, alongside its high-performance 10G SDVoE portfolio. Together, these technologies give customers and integrators the flexibility to select the right AVoIP architecture for each application while benefiting from interoperability, centralized management and a more consistent approach to AV deployment.
Kramer’s 1G portfolio combines complementary technologies for different application requirements. The KDS-17 family delivers visually lossless 4K60 4:4:4 video over standard 1Gb networks using JPEG2000 compression, combining high image quality with ultra-low latency. KDS-100 provides H.264/H.265-based streaming for applications where efficient, scalable video distribution is a priority.
At InfoComm India, Kramer will also launch KDS-17 Lite, a new cost-effective 4K60 4:4:4 transceiver that can be configured as either an encoder or decoder. Fully interoperable with the wider KDS-17 ecosystem, KDS-17 Lite provides a more accessible entry point for cost-conscious projects and helps customers standardize AVoIP across a wider range of spaces.
The complete 1G portfolio is centrally managed through AVoIP Manager, available both in the cloud and on-premises. Supporting KDS-100, KDS-7, KDS-17 and ZUHD60, the platform simplifies configuration, routing, monitoring and management across installations of different sizes.
High-performance 10G SDVoE
For applications demanding uncompromised image quality and near-zero latency, Kramer will showcase its latest 10G SDVoE portfolio, including the latest ZyPer4K-XSE.
The next-generation, low-power ZyPer4K-XSE delivers uncompressed 4K video with near-zero latency and advanced capabilities for demanding AV environments. Managed through the ZyPer Management Platform (ZMP), it enables centralized configuration and monitoring across high-performance 10G deployments.
Beyond video distribution, Kramer’s AVoIP portfolio brings USB and audio into the same connected environment. USB-C connectivity across key 1G and 10G product families helps simplify system design and support modern BYOD and collaboration workflows.
Native Dante support across the AVoIP portfolio also enables video endpoints to become part of the wider audio-over-IP ecosystem, connecting with Kramer’s Dante-enabled amplifiers and speakers to support complete, scalable AV and audio deployments.
“With a unified portfolio that spans 1G, 10G, video, USB, and audio-over-IP, Kramer is enabling AV systems that are simpler to deploy, easier to manage, and ready to scale,” said Dorit Bitter, EVP Product and Technology. “At InfoComm India 2026, we’re demonstrating how true interoperability and standardization translate into real-world value for integrators and customers alike.”

Rohde & Schwarz keep progress in RF and microwave technology moving with its T&M solutions at EuMW 2026 in London.
London is calling once again for European Microwave Week, bringing together leading experts in RF, microwave, wireless and radar technology who are pushing the boundaries of design. From October 6 to 8, 2026, Rohde & Schwarz will present at booth B10 in the European Microwave Exhibition at Excel London its latest test and measurement solutions designed to help engineers stay ahead at the cutting edge of design and prepare systems for increasingly contested and complex spectrum environments.
Markus Lörner, Application Segment Manager RF & Microwave Components at Rohde & Schwarz, says: “Our EuMW 2026 motto, ‘Progress needs proof,’ reflects what many engineers are facing today: when DUTs push beyond the limits of conventional methods, innovation slows down. At the show, we will demonstrate how our advanced test solutions support customers across RF and microwave components, satellite and radar systems, phased-array antennas and emerging 6G sensing applications. As R&D moves toward higher frequencies, more integrated designs and increasingly demanding spectrum environments, precise and reliable measurement becomes a key enabler of progress.”
From EW and EMSO scenarios to advanced high-frequency characterization
A highlight at the Rohde & Schwarz booth is the FSWX signal and spectrum analyzer, displayed in a radar and electronic warfare (EW) test scenario within the context of electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO), focused on DRFM-based jammers. In this setup, an R&S SMW200A vector signal generator simulates radar signals, while the FSWX uses its multi-channel architecture to analyze jammer input and output signals simultaneously for a comprehensive assessment of deceptive signal behavior. The new, fully integrated R&S FSWX-KM700 pulse analysis option measures both channels in parallel and provides detailed insight into pulsed radar parameters, differences between the channels and the parameter trends over time.
In a second demonstration, Rohde & Schwarz will show how the game-changing multi-channel capabilities of the FSWX can be extended into the E-band and even up to 110 GHz for advanced high-frequency component characterization. Combined with the R&S SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator and the fully calibrated R&S FE110ST/SR external frontends, the setup supports wideband satellite component testing for next-generation payload and link applications and beyond, helping engineers capture the true characteristics of the device under test and overcoming the limits of traditional measurement equipment.
Advanced testing for low-noise sources and high-power RF frontends
Rohde & Schwarz will also showcase the enhanced R&S FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester platform for advanced component characterization. With support for residual and absolute phase noise measurements up to 56 GHz and further improved internal reference, R&S FSWP-B62, the solution offers high flexibility for testing synthesizers, OCXOs, DROs, VCOs and two-port components such as amplifiers. New options for integrating external signal sources as local oscillators can dramatically accelerate measurements, in some cases by up to a factor of 1,000, making the R&S FSWP well suited for the development of low-noise signal sources for radar, satellite, base station and high-speed digital applications.
Rohde & Schwarz will also present the new R&S SAM200 system amplifier for high-power test applications in the Ka- and V-band up to 53 GHz. In radar, satellite link and backhaul applications, RF frontends must deliver higher power levels so signals can travel farther and cover larger distances. Designed to support validation of these components, the amplifier extends test setups with higher signal power while maintaining precise and reliable level control. At EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase the R&S SAM200 in two demonstrations: one characterizing a high-power Ka-band amplifier with the R&S ZNA vector network analyzer in a fully integrated and calibrated test setup, and another highlighting the amplifier’s linearity in a wideband modulated test scenario with the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer.
Scalable test for SATCOM and phased-array systems
At EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will also highlight the R&S ZNB3000 vector network analyzer for measurement applications in satellite communications, Earth observation and radio astronomy. Its wide dynamic range and low trace noise provide the sensitivity required for demanding antenna characterization and radar measurements. For higher-frequency applications, optional millimeter wave converters extend coverage up to 330 GHz, including bands used by microwave and millimeter wave radiometers. Together, these capabilities make the R&S ZNB3000 a versatile and cost-effective solution for a broad range of measurement needs in the satellite and space sectors.
Rohde & Schwarz will also demonstrate a phased array antenna test setup highlighting fast and accurate OTA testing and antenna diagram pattern validation for advanced wireless and aerospace and defense applications. Featuring a 5G NR FR2 device under test, the solution combines the R&S ATS1800C CATR-based over-the-air test system with the R&S ZNA vector network analyzer to help reduce test complexity, increase throughput and preserve beamforming accuracy from development through verification to production. A special see-through version of the R&S ATS1800C will be on display at EuMW, featuring a plexiglass wall, giving visitors a rare look at the chamber’s internal CATR technology.
Micro-Doppler emulation for emerging sensing use cases
With the AREG800A radar target generator, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase new test capabilities addressing use cases like 6G integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). As 6G networks evolve beyond data connectivity toward environmental awareness, ISAC is emerging as a key technology for detecting and classifying objects using mobile infrastructure. In addition to emulating distance, speed and radar cross section (RCS), the solution can also generate micro-Doppler signatures, enabling more realistic test scenarios for applications such as drone detection and supporting the development of advanced sensing capabilities.
Rohde & Schwarz at EuMW 2026
Visitors will find Rohde & Schwarz at booth B10 at Excel London from October 6 to 8, 2026, where they can learn how next-generation test solutions support engineers from component characterization to system-level validation across radar, satellite, wireless and aerospace and defense applications. In addition, experts from the company will contribute to the EuMW 2026 with presentations and workshops as part of the European Microwave Conference (EuMC) as well as the European Radar Conference (EuRAD).
