SCION myths debunked – Myth #8

"Today, SCION is available only in Switzerland – and can just be deployed for Swiss use cases."

False! 

Building the SCION network globally 

While Switzerland's ETH University is indeed the birthplace of SCION, it left the cradle a long time ago. We are actively expanding SCION's applications beyond Switzerland, from neighboring countries to those across oceans. SCION was built to scale – reliably. 

✅ We already have end-customers beyond Swiss borders: in Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Estonia, USA, and soon Japan as well as Saudi Arabia.  

✅ Not only that, we’ve also been partners with global commercial ISPs such as Telindus, LG, and Intercloud for several years, with one based in Luxembourg and the others in France. Global ISPs like BT are in the process of joining the Anapaya Alliance, and more are on the way. Additionally, we have partnered with Digital Realty, which operates data centers across the globe, facilitating SCION’s international connectivity.

✅Our products are also empowering global large-scale research and education networks (GÉANT, Kreonet, etc.).  

✅ Cyberlink and InterCloud are collaborating with Mysten Labs to establish a robust international infrastructure for Mysten’s Sui blockchain infrastructure. 

✅ In regions such as Benelux, France, and Germany, Anapaya is developing the infrastructure by installing Anapaya CORE.

✅ Most importantly, as soon as there is customer demand, ISPs are quick to integrate SCION, ensuring rapid deployment and widespread availability. 

These facts add to the argument that SCION is much more than a "research project" – it is a reality: see the previous myth "SCION is just a research project and going operational is too risky."

If you have an international footprint and want to deploy SCION, we can make it happen by leveraging our global ISPs' connectivity!
