lyntia leads pioneer test of quantum cryptography systems for data networks using low latency fibres, in collaboration with Nokia, LuxQuanta, ID Quantique, evolutionQ, OFS| Furukawa Solutions, and Digital Realty

lyntia is once again a pioneer in promoting innovation in the telecommunications sector, in this case with Nokia, LuxQuanta, ID Quantique, evolutionQ, OFS| Furukawa Solutions and Digital Realty. This ambitious collaboration culminates in the seamless integration of Nokia and evolutionQ systems, ensuring effective orchestration of the deployment.

Nokia has provided high-capacity, low-latency, and highly available encryption systems utilizing quantum-secure keys to ensure in-flight data confidentiality, alongside its certified geo-redundant Security Management Server (SMS) systems. Industry-leading companies have teamed up to conduct a proof of concept of quantum cryptography systems also known as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) in a real-world data centre production network environment. The goal was clear: to secure a fibre-optic link from Digital Realty’s data centre and, in turn, to demonstrate on one leg of the connection the compatibility of quantum cryptography with a new, very low-latency fibre-optic technology.
