Company Overview
SpeQtral seeks to leverage quantum technologies to offer a secure, scalable solution for distributing symmetric encryption keys using satellites as trusted key exchanging nodes. The team has made significant progress to date both in terms of technical development and customer traction. Their core technology was demonstrated on a cubesat mission at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore, a SGD100 million research facility dedicated to the development of quantum technology. SpeQtral is now collaborating with Toshiba bring Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) solutions to governments and enterprises in Southeast Asia.
Thesis Fit
SpeQtral provides a step change in quantum safe communications at a global scale. The company is developing both the quantum lightsource able to operate on a cubesat and the ground terminal that can integrate with terrestrial fiber QKD solutions. SpeQtral is another example of our SatCom thesis, where we see the terrestrial and satellite-based networks converging to deliver next generation security applications.
