Huawei and CTM launch quantum-safe network in Macao
Huawei and CTM have deployed what they claim is the world's first network combining quantum key distribution (QKD) with traditional internet protocols in Macao. The network is designed to secure connections for sectors like government, finance, and vital infrastructure. CTM intends to offer dedicated, quantum-encrypted lines for both businesses and government, with plans to expand throughout the Greater Bay Area.
