Four European Router Suppliers Launch SAFENet to Push Self-Reliance

Summary
Four European router makers — Fritz!, Devolo, Lancom and TDT — have formed SAFENet to press for greater European self-reliance in the router market.
The alliance says it wants to address security risks it links to foreign manufacturers and to promote measures that would make internet routers more secure.
SAFENet plans to work through dialogue with European policymakers and users, turning the group into an advocacy platform rather than a product or procurement venture.
The move underscores a broader European push to reduce dependence on non-European technology suppliers in infrastructure seen as security-sensitive.
