Past and present

Situated in one of the most beautiful tourist locations in Italy, on Lake Garda, ROVER can be easily reached from Milan, Bergamo, Verona and Venice. The company operates with two business divisions, which implement the same basic technology, but develop products for different applications: measuring instruments for antenna installers and equipment for the distribution and monitoring of broadcasting networks. ROVER has always paid special attention to the quality of its products, investing in advanced technology and making sure that it is always “a step ahead”.

A special 72 square-meter, shielded room is equipped to carry out EEC (CE) tests, both for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety compliance.

ROVER also organizes technical seminars and roadshows both at its customer’s premises and at its headquarters in Italy.

Biography

Founded in 1972, ROVER Laboratories S.p.A. has always operated in the world of radio and television. From the very beginning the founder of the company invested heavily in technology. Knowledge of radiofrequencies, especially microwave, followed by satellite technologies, has allowed ROVER to develop highly professional products for radio, television, satellite and cable TV signals.

In the last decade the digital and computer revolution entered strongly into the world of radio and television broadcasting, but ROVER was prepared and had, in the meantime, made large investments in the new, emerging, digital technologies. Modulations such as QPSK, QAM, 8VSB, COFDM, 8PSK and 16APSK became familiar to ROVER technicians, allowing them to develop highly professional products, both for the markets of field analyzers and broadcasting equipment for the reception, demodulation and monitoring of TV and SAT signals.

Over the last few years the Firmware laboratory has been expanded and can, at present, quickly develop new digital designs with different features and configurations to fulfil all emerging market requests.

ROVER and the environment

ROVER, is situated in one of the most enchanted areas of Italy and has always considered the environment as a precious gift to be respected. The company tirelessly works towards providing their customers with high quality products and services and carries out its activity fully respecting nature and the welfare of others.

To reduce its impact on the environment, ROVER implements various precautions, including the removal of solder lead and the use of effective, but minimal packaging for the transport of its products. The company also adopts the policy that all its staff, suppliers and customers are fully aware and work towards saving energy and respecting the environment. For example, the design laboratories have obtained notable results in minimizing the current required to power Rover equipment and meters and have obtained longer battery autonomies.

Government and citizens are more aware of the growing problem of effective waste disposal. The European Union has issued a directive called RAEE (Rifiuti Apparecchiature Elettriche ed Elettroniche) that guarantees the correct collection, treatment and recovery of all used electrical and electronic devices on the European territory. Each country in the European Union has also passed National laws to follow this directive and to ensure that all indications are in force from 2006. These laws also apply to ROVER products.

environment May we take this opportunity to remind you that the symbol shown to your left can be found on all ROVER equipment and in the various user manuals and packaging. This symbol means that ROVER products must not be thrown away, but taken to specific waste disposal centres that are able to recover electrical and electronic products. If a customer purchases a new meter, he can also return his previous piece of equipment to the ROVER vendor who will dispose of it for him.
