Toshiba showcases quantum-safe network platform at ATxSG 2025
Toshiba Asia Pacific Predictive Twin Engine (PTE). Ltd. will present its quantum-safe network platform at the upcoming Asia Tech Singapore 2025 event. This initiative highlights a partnership with SpeQtral and Ciena, aiming to advance secure quantum-safe communications through innovative technologies.
Product Update
This collaborative effort introduces optical encryption solutions utilizing Toshiba's Multiplexed Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology and Ciena's scalable transport capabilities. The combined technology seeks to provide businesses with secure, quantum-safe data transmission options.
Key Features
- Defense-in-depth Security: Toshiba's QKD produces encryption keys that are resistant to interception, offering enhanced security when used alongside Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) against potential quantum computing threats.
- Quantum-Safe Optical Encryption: The solution integrates with Ciena's Waveserver 5, providing the ability to achieve encrypted communications at 800 Gb/s with minimal additional infrastructure requirements.
- Quantum-Safe Communication Solutions: Collaborating with SpeQtral, the initiative supports the development of quantum-ready networks for both telecommunications and enterprise sectors.
Leadership Perspective
Matt Vesperman, Vice President for Asia Pacific at Ciena, noted the increasing demand for networks to be both faster and resilient against future quantum-enabled threats. SpeQtral's Co-Founder, Chune Yang Lum, highlighted the importance of equipping networks for evolving threat landscapes.
Conclusion
Toshiba's longstanding commitment to quantum technology is reinforced with the establishment of a Quantum Technology Centre in Cambridge. Attendees at the Asia Tech Singapore 2025 can engage with Toshiba’s quantum-safe solutions through live demonstrations at Booth 3P3-8 from May 27-29.
