Quantum Insights

One exchange efficiently serving multiple customer sites.

🔗A conventional point-to-point QKD design means dedicated links to each customer site. The Toshiba QSN Hub offers another route: A single Hub in an exchange can serve several Spokes through active optical switching, sharing key-generation time across multiple sites, while local key stores keep keys available between sessions

Operators can significantly reduce equipment at their exchange and efficiently dedicate capacity where demand requires, scaling investment in line with customer demand.

🔬 Toshiba has been awarded funding by Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, to develop technologies that can unlock the commercial potential of quantum networks.
 
The project will develop and evaluate prototype technologies that make quantum networks more practical to expand and operate over the UK's fibre networks, using network resources more efficiently as the number of users and sites grows. Commercial validation will take place with UK network operators, under realistic network conditions.
 
The work supports the UK's National Quantum Strategy mission to deploy advanced quantum networks at scale by 2035.
