Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration went live with federation on Rocket.Chat, chatting directly with Försäkringskassan, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, which runs another Matrix-based platform. Neither agency moved to a shared platform or routed messages through a third-party bridge. Each kept its own deployment, its own admin console, and its own security posture, and users on either side can now open a conversation with the other agency as if they were on the same system.

Coalition operations depend on XMPP. NATO's Federated Mission Networking (FMN) builds on it, it is a standing requirement in coalition RFPs, and it has carried mission communications for more than 20 years. With release 8.7, Rocket.Chat federates with XMPP, so organisations can coordinate with every partner on the mission network from a single sovereign platform. This release is the first step in a larger build: native XMPP federation, engineered into the platform rather than bolted on.
