Project Description
Project name: Iberian Quantum Communication Infrastructure (IberianQCI).
Project overview: IberianQCI is a proposal for the deployment of cross-border connections between the Spanish and Portuguese national quantum communication networks – SpainQCI and PTQCI respectively. It will interconnect both national infrastructures via a terrestrial fibre backbone link between Vigo and Valença do Minho, and several satellite links via optical ground stations (OGS) located in Vigo, Lisbon, Madrid and Barcelona. In addition, the respective national terrestrial segments will be connected to the European space segment (EuroQCI), enabling secure communication through quantum technologies with other european countries.
