News Summary:

Router manufacturers recently called for stricter EU regulations on network technology, emphasizing transparency regarding device and firmware origin, increased use of European technologies in sensitive areas, and additional security requirements for routers and other network components. This advocacy followed the launch of SAFENet earlier on June 15, an initiative pushing for digital independence in European networks and routers due to security risks from non-European supply chains. On June 14, four German and one Lithuanian router manufacturers, including FRITZ!, specifically demanded stringent oversight of imported internet networking equipment in Europe, proposing current EU security regulations for Chinese 5G products as a blueprint. This push for oversight is underpinned by survey findings FRITZ! published on June 12, which revealed a majority of UK and EU customers distrust WiFi routers from China or Russia and are often unaware many ISPs provide re-badged Chinese routers. This data expanded on an earlier YouGov survey, also released by FRITZ! on June 12, that polled 16,474 people across 14 European countries and found only 10% mistrusted European router manufacturers, compared to 52% for China and 67% for Russia.
