SpeQtral, Addvalue to study satellite quantum key distribution in Singapore
They will also explore joint go-to-market strategies and co-development initiatives.
SpeQtral Pte. Ltd. and Addvalue Innovation Pte. Ltd. signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore collaboration on an integrated quantum key distribution satellite solution in Singapore.
The MoU will focus on assessing a quantum communications satellite constellation design and concept of operations to support service-oriented, satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD), the companies said in a release.
The companies said the work will look at enabling QKD services that can handle real-time tasking and key establishment requests, as they seek to move satellite-based QKD from demonstrations towards operational delivery.
The companies said they will also explore joint go-to-market strategies and co-development initiatives.
