We welcome any amplification of our message about advancing QKD to accelerate the adoption of quantum-safe cryptography. CNN’s recent piece emphasised the Quantum Threat Timeline Report’s assertion that, “Many organizations may be unaware that they are currently exposed to an intolerable level of risk that requires urgent action” – and cited QKD as a crucial part of the solution.

Satellite QKD is rapidly evolving from research projects into the foundations of future quantum communications infrastructure. To keep progressing at pace, the industry needs alignment on what wavelength strategy these networks should adopt. In this new article, our Founder, Chris Erven, explores the growing divide between 800 nm and 1550 nm systems, the commercial realities around telecom infrastructure and why 1310 nm deserves more attention. The choices made today will shape interoperability, supply chains and the future architecture of global quantum networks.

At KETS, we’re focused on getting chip-based QKD deployed at scale. Our work with Nokia is a key part of that. Together, we’re making it easy to demonstrate quantum-safe networking globally through Nokia’s ‘flying kit’, a portable, end-to-end showcase of how QKD integrates into live telecom infrastructure as a network feature. It’s lovely to see news of this progress reaching a wide audience. Recent coverage, like this excellent article from Cyber Magazine, highlights the value of the ‘flying kit’ to Tier-1 operators and government clients and shows how quantum-safe security is advancing through collaboration that combines innovation with global reach. For us, it’s another solid step forward in our mission to build technology that is deployed, demonstrated and scaled alongside some of the world’s leading network providers.

At the end of 2025, we delivered our latest QKD v2.0 unit to Nokia and it’s now ready to fly. We’re partnering with Nokia to lead the next era of scalable, commercial QKD, and as part of this collaboration, we’re integrating our technology into Nokia’s ‘flying kit’. The elite ‘flying kit’ combines Nokia optical networking equipment and KETS’ chip-based QKD modules in a complete quantum-safe stack. These systems travel globally to demonstrate end-to-end quantum-secure networking to Tier-1 operators and government stakeholders, showcasing how quantum-safe hardware can be integrated within existing infrastructure. It’s an important step in translating capability into deployment, and we’re looking forward to expanding the reach of these solutions through our continued partnership with Nokia.

We’re looking forward to the Mobile Network Innovation Summit (MNIS) (12–13 May), a really interesting couple of days for anyone working across telecoms and emerging network technologies. Our CEO, Lisa Matthews, will be joining the panel “Making Quantum Communications real – when and why?”, where the discussion will focus on what quantum applications actually look like in practice, and what they mean for the networks we rely on every day. The agenda brings together a broad set of themes, from AI and automation through to energy efficiency and non-terrestrial networks, all of which are starting to shape how future networks are built and secured. If you’re thinking about how quantum fits into that wider landscape, or just want to hear from people working at the forefront of these developments, it’s well worth a visit. If you’re planning to be there, or fancy coming along, you can find out more and get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/du2fssia Hope to see some familiar faces there. #MNIS #QuantumCommunications #QuantumSecurity #DeepTech #Telecoms #KETSQuantumSecurity

Beyond the Hype: Blockchain’s Quantum Moment takes place today, bringing together voices from across quantum, blockchain and investment to explore what happens as these technologies intersect. Our CEO, Lisa Matthews, will be joining Panel 2: Funding and Capital, to discuss how capital is flowing across quantum and blockchain, and what conviction looks like at this stage. She'll be joined by investors and industry leaders to discuss the implications of quantum technology for blockchain security and how blockchain may play a role in future quantum systems. Whether you’re working across deep tech, infrastructure or investment, or just trying to understand where these two worlds meet, it will be an interesting discussion focused on practical realities, risks and value.

Quantum computing is already changing how organisations think about cryptography. This article in The Quantum Insider highlights a key challenge: it’s not just about stronger encryption, but how you transition without creating new risks along the way. And the answer isn’t choosing between approaches. Post-quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution solve different parts of the problem. Used together, they create a more resilient, layered security model. At KETS, we’re focused on making that practical, with chip-based QKD designed for real network integration today. https://lnkd.in/eCufTccA #QuantumSecurity #CyberSecurity #PQC #QKD #Cryptography #KETSQuantumSecurity
