NL-IX has partnered with Anapaya to introduce SCION-powered sovereign Internet connectivity across Europe, aiming to enhance secure, transparent, and resilient digital infrastructure. This strategic alliance marks a significant shift in how European enterprises and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connect securely across borders.
Through this partnership, NL-IX members will have direct access to SCION, a pioneering Internet architecture that enables path control, attack resilience, and sovereignty, via NL-IX’s expansive European backbone. The integration of Anapaya’s CORE and GATE products into NL-IX’s infrastructure aims to provide ISPs and businesses with a deterministic, DDoS-resistant, and path-aware model for data transmission, addressing the limitations of traditional IP routing.
Jan Hoogenboom, CEO and Founder of NL-IX, stated that the company’s mission has always been to offer the most reliable and secure interconnection ecosystem in Europe. The partnership with Anapaya is seen as a milestone in NL-IX’s journey toward becoming the leading European Business Exchange, empowering customers with not just speed but also verifiable trust, control, and resilience.
NL-IX is known for its robust and geographically distributed interconnection platform, linking numerous data centers, carriers, and enterprises. With SCION’s technology, NL-IX customers will have enhanced control over traffic flows, ensuring data remains within trusted jurisdictions, avoiding untrusted networks, and maintaining performance during congestion or cyber threats.
Martin Bosshardt, CEO of Anapaya, emphasized that the integration of SCION into NL-IX’s platform would scale secure and sovereign connectivity to unprecedented levels. He believes that NL-IX’s extensive reach makes it an ideal partner in leading this transformation.
The collaboration represents a new model of digital trust for enterprises and ISPs, combining NL-IX’s infrastructure with Anapaya’s security-focused innovations to offer end-to-end visibility, DDoS protection, and routing transparency—essential for industries like finance, energy, healthcare, and government where compliance and uptime are critical.
Moreover, this initiative reinforces NL-IX’s role in advancing Europe’s sovereign Internet strategy, aligning with calls from policymakers and industry leaders for greater data flow autonomy. SCION’s deterministic routing capabilities enable organizations to create trusted communication paths.
Originally developed at ETH Zurich and commercialized by Anapaya, SCION is already in use in critical Swiss networks, including the Secure Swiss Finance Network and the Secure Swiss Health Network. By incorporating SCION into the NL-IX ecosystem, this level of trusted connectivity will now extend from Switzerland to the greater European market.
Hoogenboom concluded that this partnership transcends mere technical integration; it lays the groundwork for a new era in European networking, where performance is matched with sovereignty and predictability. SCION-powered connectivity is expected to roll out to NL-IX customers by 2026, positioning the company as a pivotal player in building a secure and resilient digital infrastructure across Europe.
