Problem
Conventional secure communication systems rely on classical cryptography that can be compromised by emerging quantum computers, and existing quantum security hardware requires cryogenic cooling and fixed infrastructure, limiting deployment in mobile, remote, or tactical environments.
Solution
Space CoLAB offers a room‑temperature, diamond‑based quantum transceiver platform that provides information‑theoretic security without the need for cryogenics or permanent installations. The hardware integrates directly into mobile platforms such as submarines, drones, and emergency‑response vehicles, enabling end‑to‑end quantum‑secure links wherever they are needed. By leveraging Australia’s national fabrication network, the company ensures a sovereign supply chain and designs each component for rugged field operation. The platform delivers quantum key distribution (QKD) and other quantum communication protocols over existing communication channels, protecting data against both current and future quantum attacks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defence forces, critical infrastructure operators, and security‑focused enterprises that require quantum‑secure communications for mobile, remote, or tactical deployments.
