ADVA announced that its FSP 3000 and FSP 150 platforms will play a pivotal role in the OPENQKD project.

Leveraging its ConnectGuard technology, ADVA will provide optical and Ethernet encryptors as well as open line systems for multiple testbed locations.

"By bringing our technology and expertise to the OPENQKD project, we're helping to address vital security issues in critical communications. Whether in telecoms or government networks, quantum hacking puts the long-term security of sensitive data at risk," said Helmut Grießer, director, advanced technology, ADVA. "Our ConnectGuard encryption technology has earned a strong reputation for protecting service provider and enterprise networks while ensuring highest capacity, lowest latency and maximum scale."

With partners from 13 countries, OPENQKD will lay the foundation for a European quantum communication infrastructure combining satellite- and fiber-based QKD technology.

In recent months, the ADVA FSP 3000 platform has been at the heart of several breakthrough trials of quantum-safe and QKD-based security.
