Wireless keeps the world moving, until it doesn’t. From airports and stadiums to city centers, the radio spectrum is more crowded, and mission‑critical, than ever. In this episode of Innovations Unplugged, we reveal how Rohde & Schwarz technology keeps our invisible radio frequency highway safe, and how a new partnership with European-based laser expert TRUMPF tackles the toughest threat of all: autonomous dark drones. Expect clear tech explanations, insights of inside a Formula 1 circus, and a story about a faulty washing machine disrupting airport operations.
