The Paris Region Quantum Communication Infrastructure (QCI) consortium has implemented its first quantum communication network in existing fibre infrastructure.

Equipment related to quantum communications is expensive. To secure a link of less than 100km on a dedicated fibre, it takes approximately €180,000-250,000 just for a quantum key distribution (QKD) system. Accordingly, as part of the project, the consortium started with fibres already deployed by Orange France, some active and others dark.
