Netia’s network ready for the challenges of the quantum era
Netia and Nokia have successfully completed proof-of-concept tests of the use of state-of-the-art encryption technologies based on quantum physics in the commercial DWDM PSS1830 system between Data Centers located in Warsaw and Jawczyce. This is the first project of its kind in Poland.
In the face of growing cyber threats, the use of quantum physics is becoming a key element of data protection. Nokia’s QKD technology enables the generation and exchange of encryption keys with absolute certainty of confidentiality, thanks to the use of the principles of quantum mechanics. The Nokia DWDM system used in our network integrates this advanced technology into its DWDM PSS1830 system, which enables an increase in security levels.
The tests conducted jointly with Nokia covered a variety of operational scenarios, including real-world data transmission, real-time key management, cyber attack simulations, and digital channel damage. All tests were successful, confirming that the integration of QKD and NDQ Evolution with the PSS1830 DWDM system delivers the expected performance and reliability parameters.
The test results confirm the system’s ability to ensure the highest level of data transmission security in next-generation telecommunications networks. The solution also guarantees, even today, on the eve of the quantum computing era, resistance to attacks using the computing power of future quantum machines.
Currently, Netia’s network commercially uses a system that enables the sale of encrypted connections with a bitrate of up to 100Gbps using key distribution generated based on the principles of classical physics.The tests verified the possibility of commercial use of quantum key distribution using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology managed by NDQ Evolution and 1830SMS.
NDQ Evolution is an advanced platform that combines flexibility and performance with uncompromising security standards. Its implementation in the PSS1830 system enables dynamic encryption key management, bandwidth optimization, and latency minimization, which is crucial for modern applications requiring the highest reliability.
