Wandel & Goltermann
- this page is a stub
Wandel & Goltermann, abbreviated W&G, was a German
manufacturer
of high-end electronic equipment, such as radio receivers, amplifiers,
signal generators, and measuring equipment. The company was founded on 23 November 1923
by Wolfram Wandel and Ulrich Goltermann, and was based in Reutlingen (Germany).
W&G also made equipment for the German intelligence service
Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) and for the
Cold War
European stay-behind organisations (SBO).
In 1999, W&G merged with American competitor Wavetek,
and in 2001 with TTC Test Equipment to form Acterna.
In 2005, Acterna was acquired by JDS Uniphase Corporation (JDSU),
who turned the company into a manufacturer of broadband test solutions
and optical products. In 2015, JDSU was split into Lumentum and
VIAVI Solutions. The latter is a continuation of the old W&G.
