Colt Technology Services (Colt), the global digital infrastructure company, today announced the successful completion of a groundbreaking quantum-secured encryption trial across its optical wave network. Colt collaborated with a number of technology partners for the trial including Adtran, Ciena, ID Quantique, Nokia and Toshiba, with a view to Colt offering a suite of services for global businesses to prepare for a quantum-secured future.

Toshiba will demonstrate its quantum secure communication platform with Ciena (NYSE:CIEN), a global leader in networking systems, services, and software, at OFC Conference 2024. The quantum secure link will connect the Ciena and Toshiba exhibition booths with the OFCnet by using both QKD trusted node and multiplexing technology that will help to secure the network traffic over existing fiber optic cables.
