NLPQT: launch of Quantum Key Distribution link between Poznan and Warsaw

Within the NLPQT project – National Laboratory for Photonics and Quantum Technologies – a transmission link of Quantum Key Distribution technology between Poznan and Warsaw was launched. QKD transmission system uses dedicated fibres of PIONIER network with total length of 380 km.

This system uses a configuration of so-called “trusted nodes” and has five intermediate transmission nodes, allowing to use the services of QKD system . The link is based on the latest generation of equipment from IDQuantique – CerberisXG. QKD transmission system is monitored and managed by the PIONIER network infrastructure.
