FRITZ! navigating the future of connectivity

On 27 and 28 May, the FRITZ! Provider team travelled to the Gazometro in Rome to attend the Namex Annual Meeting (NAM) 2026. As a premier event for the internet industry in Italy, this gathering served as an important occasion to discuss the future of digital infrastructure.

Throughout the event, we connected with internet service providers, network operators, and global stakeholders. These conversations allowed us to exchange valuable insights regarding emerging industry trends and reinforce our commitment to building secure, future-proof network architectures.
