Fibre qkd
Multiplexed QKD System

The Multiplexed QKD system allows operation on fibre which is already carrying data, thereby removing the requirement for costly dark fibre. It uses a quantum channel with a wavelength in the telecom O-Band, leaving the C-band free for customer traffic. It can operate in the conventional mode with a fibre pair carrying uni-direction traffic, or with a single fibre carrying bi-direction quantum and classical signals.
