History
The roots of VAD Video-Audio-Design GmbH go back to the former GDR and the development of consumer electronics at RFT company. All devices of consumer electronics that had been manufactured in the GDR before 1989 have been developed at RFT. In 1992 VAD was founded by a management-buy-out from this company.In the first years of its existence, VAD has distinguished as provider of development and research for analog RF technology under the management of Doctor-Engineer Arnim Rau.
Comprehensive know-how about digital broadcast could be assembled at VAD since 1994. Commencing on the scientific steering of the Dresden DAB Field Test—which had been set off by the Saxon Regional Office for Broadcast and New Media (SLM) - VAD has developed from a provider of research services to a manufacturer of measurement for digital broadcasting.
In 1999, Michael Strey took over the management as well as 80 % of the participation of VAD. In the following years, VAD established as internationally accepted manufacturer of measurement and monitoring equipment for DAB/DMB and DVB-T by systematic buildup of distribution.
Parallel VAD continues its activities in the ancestral business area—development of analog RF technology for customers in Germany.
Certified quality
The management system of VAD for the development, manufacturing and distribution of RF components and measurement for digital broadcasting is DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 certified.Effective application of software in ERP, project planning and monitoring as well as a sophisticated system of documentation allow us to realise in equal measure development projects and batch production effectively and comprehensible.
The combination of internal manufacturing and test capacity with external production capacities (DKI, sh-Elektronik) provides on the one hand for constant quality of the delivered products and allows on the other hand to react flexibly to customer requirements.
