SAFENet was created to reduce the growing dependence on non-European providers in the field of networking technology. Routers, as the central interface for more than 90 percent of European internet traffic, are a critical component of the digital infrastructure.
The alliance aims to strengthen Europe's digital sovereignty through transparency, selective procurement, and the development of a European Router and Network Technology Security Toolbox. Learn more about the alliance at safe-net.tech.
“Independent and secure network technology is the foundation of Europe’s digital sovereignty,” says Jan Oetjen, CEO of FRITZ!. “SAFENet is a strong coalition that, thanks to the combined expertise and reach of its member companies, creates a competent voice in the European market. Only together can we ensure that Europe maintains control over its networks and decides its own digital future.”
FRITZ! is convinced that the European Union must guarantee the independence of network components such as routers and establish the corresponding regulatory frameworks. The alliance offers European manufacturers a platform to present their sovereign, reliable, and innovative technological solutions, thereby contributing to the long-term security of Europe's digital infrastructure.
