A revolutionary new fiber network is set to transform the landscape of communication in the Western Hemisphere. Quantum Corridor, a groundbreaking company specializing in fiber infrastructure, is preparing to launch one of the fastest public-private networks in the world. Boasting a staggering speed of 40 Tbps, scalable to an incredible 1.2 petabits per second, this network will connect enterprise and academic customers, offering cutting-edge quantum communication capabilities.
Quantum Corridor’s sophisticated infrastructure employs advanced coherent optics technology, guaranteeing both blazing-fast speeds and uncompromising security. With a dedicated private and secure tunnel for every company, it ensures that sensitive data remains protected.
While individual customer connections will operate at speeds of up to 800 Gbps, the network allows customers to bond multiple connections, enabling even higher speeds. Additionally, the low latency of less than 3 milliseconds, described as 500 times faster than the blink of an eye, ensures the rapid and efficient transmission of information.
Initially, the network will connect the bustling Chicago traffic exchange point to the Chicago Quantum Exchange at the University of Chicago. From there, it will extend along the Indiana toll road to a data center in Westville, Indiana near Purdue University’s northwest campus. Future plans include expanding the network to the Ohio border.
Quantum Corridor has designed its network with quantum communication in mind, an innovative approach that harnesses the power of entangled subatomic particles to facilitate instantaneous and highly secure communication. The company intends to establish entanglement sites every 30 miles along the network route, enabling customers interested in quantum networking to establish connections between these sites.
While not all entities tapping into the network prioritize quantum networking, the extraordinary speed and security provided by Quantum Corridor make it an attractive choice for hyperscale data center operators, as well as those seeking optimal performance for latency-sensitive applications.
As Quantum Corridor President and Chief Technology Officer Ryan Lafler explains, “Computers aren’t smart; they’re fast.” Harnessing the fiber communication technology underlying the network, Quantum Corridor achieves speeds that surpass the speed of light 67% of the time. Although entangled particle communication is currently limited to a distance of about 30 miles, it offers instantaneous and lossless communication, exceeding the already impressive speed of the network.
While there are existing quantum networks, predominantly in academic settings, Quantum Corridor aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry. With cutting-edge quantum networks expected to be deployed by customers on top of the Quantum Corridor fiber infrastructure, the potential for unprecedented advancements in communication technology is within reach.
