Quantum Corridor, Ciena, and Toshiba Achieve 1.6 Tb/s Quantum-Safe Networking Trial
A successful trial of 1.6 Tb/s quantum-safe networking was completed by Quantum Corridor, Ciena, and Toshiba in the Midwest U.S. This development is critical as organizations prepare for the post-quantum era amidst increasing regulatory pressures for quantum readiness.

Quantum Corridor, Ciena, and Toshiba executed a trial demonstrating 1.6 Tb/s encrypted connectivity on a live commercial network. The trial featured Ciena's WaveLogic 6 Extreme encryption, compatible with NIST-certified post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and Toshiba's quantum key distribution (QKD).
This initiative supports a hybrid security approach, essential for organizations facing threats from quantum computing. It allows service providers to upgrade existing infrastructure to quantum-safe solutions without complete replacement.
The trial is significant as it aligns with global mandates for quantum readiness, emphasizing the need for immediate action from enterprises handling sensitive data. The completed project reflects a transition towards enhanced cybersecurity measures in light of emerging technological challenges.
