Quantum link runs alongside 400G Ethernet and 5G on same fiber
Original: 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.
Why now: It suggests quantum networks could be rolled out on existing telecom fiber instead of costly dedicated infrastructure.
