The demonstration integrated Arqit<\/a>\u2019s encryption technology into Es\u2019hailSat\u2019s live satellite environment at its 25.5\/26\u00b0 East hotspot and Tier-4 certified Teleport facility in Doha. <\/p>\n The companies said the test showed quantum-safe protection could be added to existing satellite-connected networks without disrupting systems, services or operational performance.<\/p>\n PRESS RELEASE \u2013 Arqit<\/a> Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQQ, ARQQW), a global leader in quantum-safe encryption, Es\u2019hailSat \u2013 the Qatar Satellite Company \u2013 a world-class satellite operator and service provider with coverage spanning the MENA region \u2013 and Advanced International Electronic Equipment Company (AIEE<\/a>), a specialist systems integrator for secure communications infrastructure, today announced the successful demonstration of quantum-safe security across operational satellite communications infrastructure.<\/p>\n The collaboration demonstrates a practical way for satellite operators and critical infrastructure providers to strengthen communications resilience in the face of emerging quantum threats, without interrupting live operations.<\/p>\n As governments and infrastructure operators prepare for the cybersecurity implications of quantum computing, protecting long-life communications infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. This is particularly relevant in sectors where reliability and operational continuity are critical.<\/p>\n The collaboration integrated Arqit<\/a>\u2019s quantum-safe encryption technology within Es\u2019hailSat\u2019s live satellite environment at 25.5\/26\u00b0 East hotspot, using existing operational infrastructure of Es\u2019hailSat\u2019s Tier-4 certified Teleport facility in Doha. The demonstration showed how quantum-safe cryptographic protection can be introduced across existing satellite-connected networks with no adverse effect to existing systems, services or operational performance.<\/p>\n The project validates a practical and feasible route for introducing quantum-safe protection into existing satellite environments supporting government, enterprise, maritime, energy and critical infrastructure communications.<\/p>\n Es\u2019hailSat provided the operational satellite environment using Es\u2019hail-1 satellite for the demonstration, while AIEE<\/a> led systems integration and interoperability testing across the ground and network infrastructure.<\/p>\n \u201cSatellite infrastructure supports some of the world\u2019s most operationally sensitive environments,\u201d said Andy Leaver, CEO of Arqit<\/a>. \u201cWhat\u2019s important about this project is that it proves a practical path to strengthening quantum-safe cryptographic resilience without requiring operators to rebuild existing infrastructure. That operational reality matters especially in critical infrastructure environments, where disruption simply isn\u2019t an option.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ali Al Kuwari, President & CEO of Es\u2019hailSat, said: \u201cEs\u2019hailSat\u2019s satellite networks are critical to Qatar\u2019s national infrastructure, economic development and secure digital transformation across the Middle East and North Africa region. This collaboration reflects our commitment to exploring technologies that can strengthen long-term communications resilience while maintaining operational continuity for customers and stakeholders operating critical services<\/p>\n![\"Introducing](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Option-1-1-1.png\")
