10.9.2026 13:00:00 EEST | SAFENet | Press release
Berlin, 10 September 2026 – The Sovereignty Alliance for European Network Technology (SAFENet) welcomes five new members: Genexis, IPmotion, MB connect line, Teldat and Waystream. The alliance is growing rapidly, expanding from four to nine European network technology companies just a few weeks after its founding. With this growth, the alliance significantly broadens its European base. Their shared goal: to strengthen Europe's technological capacity to act – and to ensure that European network technology is given the weight it deserves in Brussels and in national capitals.
The new members bring a range of complementary strengths across network infrastructure:
- Genexis (Netherlands/Sweden): The broadband specialist offers fibre termination and home networking solutions – from ONTs and residential gateways to extenders and management software.
- IPmotion (Germany): The manufacturer develops mobile internet access and router solutions for rail and road transport, public safety and other mobile applications.
- MB connect line (Germany): The manufacturer develops secure remote access solutions, industrial routers and OT security gateways for machine builders and industrial operators. Its portfolio enables the secure connection, remote maintenance and segmentation of machines, systems and industrial networks, including protected network transitions between OT environments.
- Teldat (Spain): The provider develops router, SD-WAN, 5G and cybersecurity solutions for businesses, public institutions and critical infrastructure.
- Waystream (Sweden): The company develops access switches and routers for the fibre networks of municipal networks and network operators in Northern and Central Europe.

93% of Europe's Internet Traffic Flows Through Routers – Yet No One Is Paying Attention: Study Demands Action on Digital Sovereignty24.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Berlin, 24 June 2026 – The Sovereignty Alliance for European Network Technology (SAFENet), together with the Innovate Europe Foundation (IE.F) and Berlin-based consultancy iconomy, publishes a new foundational study revealing that 93% of European internet traffic flows through routers and yet the EU has no sovereignty framework for this key component of the digital ecosystem. Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturers already control 37% of the market.
Europe Needs Digital Independence in Networks and Rout-ers: SAFENet Launches15.6.2026 11:07:17 EEST | Press release
Governments around the world are increasingly recognizing that technology supply chains pose a security risk to critical digital infrastructure. The EU has not yet done so. Its markets remain open to products from outside Europe that create strategic dependencies and entail major security risks. Moreover, one central component is often overlooked in discussions about digital and technological independence: the router. As the digital hub in homes and offices, more than 90 percent of all data flows through it. Four leading European manufacturers are therefore founding SAFENet, the Sovereignty Alliance for European Network Technology, and are calling for routers and network devices to be protected by policymakers just as rigorously as 5G networks.
