ID Quantique and IonQ Introduce Clavis XG Multiplex to Deploy Quantum Key Distribution Over Metro Networks

ID Quantique and IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) have expanded their secure networking offerings with the release of Clavis XG Multiplex, a hardware solution designed to implement Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) across existing metropolitan fiber infrastructure. Historically, implementing physics-based QKD required network operators to isolate or lease dedicated dark fiber lines to prevent classical data streams from disrupting delicate quantum key transmissions. The Clavis XG Multiplex removes this infrastructure constraint by enabling quantum keys and conventional classical data traffic to co-propagate simultaneously across the same physical fiber strands. This allows organizations to establish defense-in-depth security parameters without requiring operators to redesign or isolate optical networks.
