customers, with many of them needing to comply with strict regulatory requirements about the performance of their equipment in extreme conditions. It’ s essential that the mission-critical systems we offer continue to work in the event of a fire, maintaining the safety of those living or working in the building as well as emergency responders. Having an on-site burn chamber enables us to maintain our focus on designing and testing the integrity of our cable solutions to ensure we continue to supply best-in-class products.”
Aside from investments to enhance its manufacturing operations, RFS is also actively investing in sustainable solutions.“ We completed a major project to install solar power on the roof of our Suzhou facility in 2024,” Jacqui reveals.“ Covering 16,000 square meters, the panels can generate 1.49 megawatts of power and are expected to see an annual power generation of 1.35 million kilowatt hours, saving an estimated 1346 tons of carbon emissions per year. We are currently exploring a similar investment to install solar energy at our Hannover facility.
“ In 2024 we also launched a private 5G network to be used for customer proof of concept( POC) demonstrations and to support our on-site manufacturing facility.
It is being used by RFS to support logistics, manufacturing, and testing, with the test and measurement range, the burn chamber, and the new raw materials warehouse facility all benefiting from the network. This is also a significant project for our manufacturing and logistics customers, as it provides a working demo of what we can help our customers achieve with our connectivity. We’ re not just selling products but also supporting our partners with the implementation of the ecosystem required to support Industry 4.0 projects.
“ We’ re currently working with several online retail and logistics companies, tailoring our solutions to meet their specific connectivity needs. We’ re also continuing our work with the London Underground, supporting mission-critical communications technology for various lines including the new Elizabeth Line.”
To close the conversation, Jacqui shares what the remainder of 2025 has in store for RFS.“ In 2025, we’ ll continue the projects discussed, including solar installation and the continuous modernization of our facilities,” she states.“ We’ ll also maintain our work in vertical markets, focusing on gaining a deep understanding of customer connectivity challenges and tailoring our solutions to overcome these issues.
“ We have historically evolved with the communications industry, and we’ ll continue to do so, supporting 6G, AI, and other advanced technologies as they increasingly impact our customers across vertical markets,” Jacqui concludes.“ As the ecosystem changes, it’ s crucial that we work in partnerships with other businesses to offer a complete solution to end customers, and so we expect to see more collaboration over the next five years, with a focus on how we can best serve our customers.” ■
