We are excited to showcase the ALLEGRO-proposed ROADM node architecture, designed to enable seamless integration of classical signals from an S-BVT and switched QKD signals.
📡 Key Features & Innovations:
✅ O-band DVQKD compatibility – Supports classical channel propagation in the C+L bands while ensuring secure quantum communication.
✅ Comprehensive physical connectivity – Includes connections to the server for key management, system configuration, and telemetry via the IP router.
✅ Optimized filtering design – Incorporates Band-Pass Filters (BPFs) and Band Filters (MUX/DEMUX) to maintain signal integrity.
This architecture is a crucial step toward hybrid quantum-classical networking, ensuring secure and scalable QKD deployments while leveraging existing optical infrastructure.
💡 Looking forward to discussions on how this can shape the future of quantum-secure telecom networks!
