    At lyntia, we are pleased to share that we have successfully completed a pioneering trial in the use of quantum cryptology in data networks, utilising advanced low-latency optical fibres. This achievement has been made possible thanks to our collaboration with Nokia , LuxQuanta , ID Quantique, evolutionQ , OFS | Furukawa Solutions , and Digital Realty. The primary aim of this initiative was to test the compatibility of quantum cryptography with the new Hollow Core optical fibres. Furthermore, this development also represents a global milestone, as it is one of the first trials to achieve interoperability between Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems from different manufacturers, which enables an extension of the security distance between data centres. This breakthrough is highly significant for business security, as it positions us a step ahead in cryptographic protection against future threats posed by advancements in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. At lyntia, we continue to lead innovation in telecommunications, working every day to deliver solutions that ensure a safer and more reliable future for everyone.

    Our very own Milly U., Cable Design and Development Engineer at OFS Specialty Photonics division in Avon, CT, recently made her debut presentation at an SAE Industry Technologies Consortia's ARINC Subcommittee. Milly showcased our cutting-edge Aerospace cable portfolio, highlighting our single and multifiber harsh environment cables designed to meet ARINC 802 specifications for commercial aircraft. This presentation to industry experts marked Milly's first business trip and technical presentation, and we're thrilled to report she performed exceptionally well! 👏 The Fiber Optics Subcommittee plays a crucial role in updating standards, guidelines, and procedures for fiber optic components in air transport. We're honored to contribute to this important work. Congratulations, Milly, on representing OFS with such expertise and poise!

    FITEL S185 series elevates standards for splicing novelty fibers AI-driven demand in high-speed data transmission requires reliable technology. Our range of High-Strength Specialty Fusion Splicers comes to the forefront of this challenge. With 7 innovative models we are continually pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve. The emergence of hollow-core and multi-core fibres has opened up new prospects for a major technical change in data transmission.  Hollow-core fibres transmit light through air rather than glass, reducing latency and enabling faster signal transmission. Meanwhile, multi-core fibres boost transmission capacity by utilizing multiple cores (channels) within a single fibre. Our S185PMROF is specifically designed to achieve optimal low-loss splicing for both hollow-core and multi-core fibres. The cutting-edge three-electrode system on the S185PMROF creates a wider plasma arc, ensuring more even heating all across the splice point. For fibres with more intricate internal structures, we recommend to use our revolutionary FITEL S185 End-View Splicer. The compact S185EDV employs an End-View system which seamlessly aligns fibre ends. Viewing the cross sections of the fibres gives more detail about the internal structure providing more control to the user for precise splicing results. Our Composite Image Technology overlays both End View fibre images into one picture, allowing the user to verify the alignment and fine tune to their exact requirements. More information about the products can be found at https://lnkd.in/egNYJxcQ Come visit us at ECOC 2024 in Frankfurt next week, stand #B56.
