SG tests $8.5m national quantum-safe network

The project kicked off with 15 private and government agencies.

Singapore's Quantum Engineering Programme, supported by the National Research Foundation, will start conducting nationwide trials of quantum-safe communication technologies that promise robust network security for critical infrastructure and companies handling sensitive data.

The new National Quantum-Safe Network (NQSN) will deploy commercial technologies for trials with 15 government agencies and private companies, conduct an in-depth evaluation of security systems, and develop guidelines to support companies in adopting such technologies.

"Singapore can build on its heritage in quantum science, optics and cybersecurity engineering to become a trusted global provider of quantum network technology and services. In NQSN, we will bring quantum innovation to deployed optical networks and study operational issues such as a quantum network's reliability and resilience together with our industry partners," said NSQN principal investigator Charles Lim.

Hosted by the National University of Singapore, the initiative will receive $8.5m over three years. Collaborators will bring expertise, equipment and use-cases to the project.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
