Brand philosophy and development

RIGOL's brand development history is clear and visionary and can be summarized as a three-step journey, reflecting a leap from products to an ecosystem:

· 1.0 Beyond Measurement (1998–2005): Starting from electronics enthusiasts, it launched China's first commercial digital oscilloscope, establishing a domestic brand image of being capable, accurate, and affordable.

· 2.0 Innovation Only (2006–2013): Invested heavily in R&D, built the self-developed Phoenix technology platform, and broke the West's technological monopoly in high-end oscilloscope chips.

· 3.0 Infinite Possibilities (2014–present): Transformed from a hardware equipment vendor into a system solutions service provider, focused on frontier fields such as communications and new energy, and initiated an A+H listing process to accelerate globalization.

Market position: No. 1 in China, among the global leaders

RIGOL is currently China's largest supplier of electronic measuring instruments, ranking eighth globally by 2024 revenue. Its core product, the digital oscilloscope, ranks fifth globally, and its waveform generators rank third globally.

Core technology: the only company to commercialize self-developed chips

Compared with Chinese peers, RIGOL's most notable difference is that it owns self-developed Phoenix series ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) chips and has successfully applied them in high-end oscilloscopes. This made China the third country after the US and Germany to master this core technology, building a solid competitive barrier.

Global footprint: R&D and sales network

The brand adheres to global operations, with overseas revenue accounting for more than 35%. It currently has six R&D centers worldwide (including Suzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, and Penang, Malaysia, among others) and has established 10 overseas subsidiaries in the US, Europe, Japan, and other regions, serving more than 100,000 customers worldwide.

Core culture: Puyuan Academy

It is worth mentioning that RIGOL has an internal Puyuan Academy, dedicated to cultivating an engineering culture and global talent, reflecting its long-term emphasis on talent and technological accumulation.
