Arqit Quantum Inc. develops quantum-safe encryption software for governments, enterprises and communications-service providers preparing for post-quantum security requirements. Its recurring updates center on Encryption Intelligence, which detects cryptographic exposure and maps dependencies, and NetworkSecure™, which protects data in transit using post-quantum cryptography and supports confidential-compute environments.
Company news also covers customer and technology collaborations for telco VPN, site-to-cloud, data-center interconnect and edge-network use cases; availability of Arqit software with Intel-based confidential-computing infrastructure; sponsored research on data sovereignty and AI network security; and periodic financial-result announcements tied to contract delivery and revenue recognition.
Arqit Quantum Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQQ) has announced that RSG Telecom has signed a test and integration license for Arqit's NetworkSecure™ technology. The partnership aims to implement quantum-safe encryption solutions across RSG's telecom infrastructures to enhance data protection against cyber threats.
The collaboration leverages Arqit's symmetric key agreement technology (SKA-Platform™) to protect critical and sensitive data from cybercriminals, hackers, and nation-state actors. The cloud-based solution is designed to be highly scalable and secure against both current and future quantum threats.
Arqit Quantum Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQQ) has secured a significant three-year contract with a global tier 1 telco operator for its NetworkSecure™ technology. The telecommunications partner, which operates across 32 countries with over 600,000 km of fiber backbone, will integrate Arqit's Quantum-Safe technology into its Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) suite.
The agreement enables the telco to offer Quantum-Safe over Internet (QSI) service to enterprise and government customers worldwide through its NaaS platform. This partnership represents a strategic move to protect communications against emerging cyber threats, particularly those posed by quantum computing. Arqit indicates potential for expansion beyond the initial contract as demand scales.
Arqit Quantum, a quantum-safe encryption leader, released preliminary financial results for H1 FY2025. The company expects to report revenue between $18,000 to $67,000 and cash/cash equivalents of $24.7 million as of March 31, 2025.

Sparkle, a leading international service provider, has successfully completed a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) Proof of Concept (PoC) for a quantum-safe Internet use case. The trial, conducted in collaboration with Arqit Quantum Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQQ), Intel, Adtran, and Telsy, demonstrated the agile implementation of an on-demand MEF Internet Access Service secured by post-quantum cryptography. The PoC was carried out on Sparkle's metropolitan fiber optic network in Athens, following an earlier successful trial on an International VPN between Italy and Germany.
The solution integrates connectivity functions with Arqit's quantum-safe encryption into an Intel-powered NetSec accelerator card, used as Universal Customer Premises Equipment (uCPE). Sparkle plans to commercially launch its NaaS/Quantum-Safe Internet (NaaS/QSI) service by the end of 2024, followed by other use cases in its NaaS Suite.
Arqit Quantum has launched its new Encryption Intelligence service as a part of its Symmetric Key Agreement Platform. This service helps organizations identify and mitigate network risks arising from quantum computing threats.
