According to a recent LinkedIn post from Qunnect, the company’s quantum networking hardware is being used on Deutsche Telekom’s fiber network in Berlin to demonstrate quantum teleportation with commercially available technology. The post references coverage by Light Reading and positions this deployment as an early step toward carrier-grade quantum networking.

The post suggests that this work could underpin future applications such as distributed quantum computing, quantum-secure communications at scale, and atomic clock synchronization over existing fiber infrastructure. For investors, the collaboration with a major European carrier may signal validation of Qunnect’s technology and a potential pathway to telecom-focused revenues if quantum-capable networks gain traction.
The emphasis on operating over fiber “already in the ground” indicates a business model that could leverage incumbent network assets rather than requiring entirely new build‑outs. This approach, if technically and economically viable, may lower adoption barriers for carriers and position Qunnect within emerging quantum internet infrastructure budgets.
While the post is promotional in tone and does not disclose commercial terms, it highlights Qunnect’s strategy of aligning with established operators rather than pursuing standalone networks. Such positioning could enhance the company’s competitive stance versus other quantum networking startups as telecoms explore differentiation through quantum-secure and quantum-enabled services.
