- 1FAA halts East Coast flights after fiber line cut●US halts flights at busy East Coast airports, says fiber line cut
US aviation authorities briefly stopped flights at several busy East Coast airports after a cut fiber optic line disrupted communications. Reuters reports the FAA halted some flights due to the communication failure, with affected hubs including major New York-area and Washington airports. Flights were delayed while crews worked to restore the connection, and travelers faced knock-on disruptions across the regional network.
- 2Quantum link runs alongside 400G Ethernet and 5G on same fiber●Quantum link shares deployed fiber with 400G Ethernet and 5G
A quantum communication link has been shown operating over fiber optic cable already carrying 400G Ethernet and 5G traffic, demonstrating that quantum networking can coexist with conventional high-capacity telecommunications on deployed infrastructure rather than requiring dedicated lines. This points to a cheaper path for integrating quantum-secure communications into existing networks.
