- Japanese operator KDDI wants to protect its datacentre traffic against quantum-savvy hackers
- It has turned to Nokia for the optical and security management systems that can help
Telcos around the world are becoming more vocal about their quantum-safe networking plans and partnerships, with KDDI the latest to share its efforts with the world.
The Japanese operator has teamed up with Nokia, one of the leading vendors in the sector, to demonstrate quantum-safe optical transport capabilities at its new Sakai Data Center, which has been designed to support advanced AI workloads, just the sort of data streams likely to be targeted by hackers seeking to harvest sensitive information that can be accessed at a later date using quantum computers.
