Arqit, Es’hailSat, and AIEE Demonstrate Quantum-Safe Satellite Encryption
Arqit Quantum Inc., Qatar satellite operator Es’hailSat, and systems integrator Advanced International Electronic Equipment Company (AIEE) have completed a live demonstration of quantum-safe encryption across operational satellite communications infrastructure. Conducted at Es’hailSat’s Tier-4 certified Teleport facility in Doha, the trial integrated Arqit’s quantum-safe software across existing satellite links provided by the Es’hail-1 satellite at the 25.5°/26° East orbital hotspot. The demonstration verified that post-quantum cryptographic protections can be implemented over active satellite networks without requiring hardware replacements or disrupting live operational performance.
