Rohill

What Rohill does

Rohill Engineering B.V. is a Dutch designer, manufacturer, and integrator of mission-critical TETRA communication infrastructure, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Hoogeveen, Netherlands. Its core product family is built around TetraNode, a soft-switch-based TETRA core platform offered in modular form factors and complemented by control-room applications such as dispatch and recording. The company serves public safety, public transport (metros, light rail), utilities, oil and gas, airports and seaports, defense, industry, and PAMR operators, with more than 450 networks delivered to customers in over 40 countries and named deployments at 30+ airports and 8+ public transport networks.

Rohill monetizes through capital-sales of TETRA core and terminal infrastructure plus multi-year service, support, and software attach, and through channel partners including regional Value Added Resellers and an Application Partner Programme that has produced integrations with multiple MCX and adjacent vendors. The platform is engineered for mission-critical operational environments, with patented capabilities such as high-delay satellite TETRA communications and certifications aligned to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and NATO-compliant encryption, making it eligible for defense and security tenders.

Strategically, the firm is repositioning from a single-standard TETRA vendor toward a hybrid critical-communications supplier: it opened a LATAM subsidiary in Brazil in December 2024, launched TetraNode Modular at CCW 2024, validated MCX interworking at ETSI Plugtests in 2023, partnered with Streamwide for MCPTT-LMR interworking, and unveiled the SUMMUM platform vision at CCW 2026 — collectively pointing to a roadmap that bridges legacy narrowband TETRA with broadband MCX ecosystems.
