The QOSC platform, a member of the RF-Net network, is located at IETR within INSA Rennes. It serves as a technological resource center dedicated to measurements in cybersecurity, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and antenna characterization. QOSC brings together several technical platforms and advanced equipment for evaluating the performance and resilience of electronic and radiofrequency systems in controlled environments.
In particular, the platform includes a CEM-CyberEM-SER anechoic chamber, a near-field measurement base, a planar near-field EMC bench, mode-stirring reverberation chambers, and a GTEM (Giga Transverse Electromagnetic) cell. These infrastructures enable the execution of Surface Equivalent Radar (SER) measurements, cybersecurity and EMC testing, as well as antenna radiation efficiency characterization and electromagnetic susceptibility assessment of devices.
Since 2024, QOSC has integrated HERMES, a virtual electromagnetic modeling platform that offers several resources such as commercial simulation tools, in-house developed software, tutorials, and user guides.
QOSC occupies approximately 230 m², represents over €2M in investments, and relies on a research engineer and an engineer responsible for coordinating the RF-Net network. Additionally, HERMES is managed by a research engineer.
QOSC benefits from regular investments, particularly through the CPER programs supported by the state, the European Union (FEDER), the Brittany region, the Ille-et-Vilaine department, and Rennes Métropole.
