SmartViser and Anritsu

SmartViser Announces Strategic Expansion of Shareholding, Strengthening Long-Term Industrial Partnership

Rennes, France – 02/04/2026

SmartViser today announces a major milestone in its strategic development, as its long-term industrial partner, Anritsu Corporation (Representative Director and President: Hirokazu Hamada), has decided to further increase its shareholding in the company.

Following approval at Anritsu’s Board of Directors meeting on 31 March 2026, Anritsu will acquire an additional 18.28% of SmartViser’s issued shares, building on its existing 32.72% stake established in March 2025. Subject to the completion of customary regulatory approvals and procedures, SmartViser is expected to become a consolidated subsidiary of Anritsu in August 2026. Until the transaction is finalized, both companies will continue to operate independently, with management and business decisions remaining under their respective governance structures.

This development represents a natural evolution of the collaboration established between SmartViser and Anritsu over the past year. Since the initial investment, the two companies have worked closely together, combining SmartViser’s expertise in end-to-end test automation, real-world quality of experience validation, and network monitoring with Anritsu’s leadership in advanced telecommunications test and measurement solutions. The strengthened relationship will enable deeper alignment, accelerate joint innovation, and expand the global reach of both organizations.

SmartViser has established itself as a trusted partner for mobile network operators, device manufacturers, regulators, and testing laboratories worldwide. Its portfolio spans automated device and network testing, active testing and real-world performance validation, continuous quality of experience monitoring, and compliance with European Union smartphone energy labelling regulations, including the Energy Efficiency Index. This strong foundation positions SmartViser at the forefront of industry transformation, particularly as networks and services become increasingly complex and performance-driven.

The enhanced partnership will support accelerated development and deployment across key growth areas, including NTN, mission-critical communications, private and enterprise networks, and connected mobility ecosystems. It will also reinforce SmartViser’s role in supporting sustainability initiatives through energy efficiency testing and compliance solutions, contributing to broader industry efforts toward reducing environmental impact.

By combining complementary capabilities, SmartViser and Anritsu share a common vision to improve network performance, enhance user experience, and enable more efficient and intelligent communication ecosystems. This strategic step reflects a shared commitment to innovation and to supporting the transition toward a more connected, sustainable, and data-driven society.

SmartViser will continue to operate with its established teams, product roadmap, and customer engagements, while benefiting from increased industrial support and expanded market opportunities. This milestone further strengthens SmartViser’s position as a leading innovator in telecom testing and quality assurance, and underscores its ambition to deliver greater value to customers and partners worldwide.
