Field trial: six-node trusted-node QKD network goes live in the Randstad

A six-node Quantum Key Distribution network went live in the Randstad, spanning the deployed telecom fibre linking three data centres. Here’s what we built, and what we learned.

A six-node Quantum Key Distribution network is now live in the Randstad, running over deployed telecom fibre that links three data centres. This trial moved MDI-QKD out of the lab and onto infrastructure operators already run.
