Datacom in the DNA of Bausch

Bausch Datacom, originally founded in 1987 in the Netherlands by the family Bausch, evolved in the first 15 years of its existence, from a manufacturer of desktop modems for the banking world to rackmodems for Internet Service Providers and supplier of high end desktop modems for personal (Internet) use. As from 2003, the now Belgian owned, Bausch Datacom focused on applications for the Energy market, providing heavy duty modems for electricity meter reading and later on, in 2007, remote terminal units for the monitoring of the electricity grid. In 2012, Bausch Datacom started to develop electronics for the integration in charging infrastructure for Electric Vehicles. In 2018 the German company RITTER Starkstromtechnik bought 49% of the shares of Bausch Datacom to enter the ‘Smart Grid’ market on a European scale.
