On August 4, 2026, Quantum Corridor, Ciena, and Toshiba completed a successful trial of high-speed quantum-safe networking, achieving 1.6 Tb/s encrypted connectivity. This trial utilized Ciena's WaveLogic 6 Extreme technology and integrated post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms with quantum key distribution (QKD) to secure data in transit. Conducted over a live commercial network between Chicago and Hammond, the trial demonstrated the capability to protect critical data as organizations prepare for the quantum era. The results indicate that organizations can transition to quantum-safe solutions while meeting the bandwidth demands of modern applications. The trial is part of a broader push for quantum-readiness among governments and enterprises globally, emphasizing the urgency for critical infrastructure operators to adopt quantum-safe measures.
