Robust routers for critical infrastructures
Just as our namesake Garderos, son of Poseidon, guards the access to the Mediterranean together with his twin brother Atlas in Greek mythology, Garderos GmbH protects and guards the network of critical infrastructures.
Background and business model:
Garderos GmbH was founded in 2002 as a spin-off of Siemens AG. Until 2008, the company’s purpose was to develop software for hotspot solutions. This was followed by a fundamental reframing of the business as a systems provider for ruggedised router solutions.
Our vision
Our vision is to drive digital transformation worldwide by ensuring reliable and sustainable IP data connectivity for decentralised systems.
Our mission
We develop and sell robust routers with a long product life cycle of at least 15 years, governed by a secure and highly scalable management system. This enables our customers to achieve zero-touch installation and thus easily operate their distributed networks. When programming our software, we attach great importance to compliance with safety standards, cybersecurity and customer-specific requirements. Our aim is to continuously develop our hardware and software platform. We are there for our customers when they need us as a trustworthy long-term partner.
