We've succeeded in taking the technology from PoCs in the lab to real-world demonstrations. Now we're closing in on enabling customer trials and plans for full-scale deployments. Soon mission-critical networks will be protected even from cybercriminals intent on harvesting information today in order to decode and exploit it tomorrow." We're now ready to usher in a new age of ultra-secure data protection. Jörg-Peter Elbers, SVP, advanced technology, ADVA The new QKD link is part of a wider project co-funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to build a QKD network in the UK. Fundamental to the quantum-secured system is the interoperability and openness of the ADVA FSP 3000, which enables keys to be securely combined from third-party systems using standardized protocols. The solution also features ID Quantique's Clavis 3 System for key distribution.
