Teldat: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Teldat supplies networking and security equipment for organisations with many sites or critical networks. Its portfolio includes routers, firewalls, Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, switches and SD-WAN software, plus industrial routers for utilities and connectivity for trains and vehicles. Solutions built on these cover secure SD-WAN, SASE, zero trust network access, traffic analysis and operational technology security. Customer examples include banks, utilities, retailers and transport operators. Teldat also provides consulting, deployment, maintenance, repair and training.

Teldat is a private company headquartered in Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain, and present on all five continents through partners and distributors. The routers and appliances are installed and operated by the customer or a partner, so traffic passes through equipment in the customer's own network rather than a vendor-hosted cloud. The sources consulted name no foreign parent company or shareholders. For a European organisation, a Spanish vendor means the supplier itself falls under EU jurisdiction, while firmware, support access and remote management remain matters for the contract.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Teldat

Teldat is headquartered in ES and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Teldat runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Teldat is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Teldat together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
