Problem
Current communication networks are exposed to conventional cyber threats and will become vulnerable to attacks from future quantum computers, while organizations lack practical software tools to design, plan, and certify quantum‑safe and entanglement‑based networks required for the emerging quantum internet.
Solution
NodeQ provides a software‑only infrastructure platform that enables telecom operators, cloud providers, and data‑center operators to transition to quantum‑safe communications and to design scalable distributed quantum computing networks. The platform offers quantum‑resistant tunneling (PQtunnel) for high‑speed, encrypted links across campus boundaries, and a suite of modeling, optimization, and emulation tools for planning entanglement distribution and quantum chip architectures. It includes validation and certification workflows for quantum key distribution (QKD) hardware and integrates post‑quantum encryption to protect legacy traffic. By delivering capacity‑achieving end‑to‑end qubit transmission planning, NodeQ helps organizations secure current data flows and prepare for future quantum workloads without requiring new physical hardware.
Target Audience
Primary customers are telecom operators, cloud service providers, and data‑center operators that need quantum‑safe network planning, as well as research institutions and quantum hardware vendors developing entanglement‑based networking solutions.
