The Irish Government and European Union have announced a €10m investment in a new network designed to protect the transmission of sensitive data and prevent cyberattacks.

The Quantum Communications Infrastructure network is a first for Ireland and will be deployed over the next two years by the IrelandQCI.

The main function of this new QCI network will be to enable an ultra-secure form of encryption so that data can be transmitted safely without the risk of being hacked. Welcoming the development today in Trinity College Dublin, Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications with responsibility for Communications, Ossian Smyth noted that Ireland already has strong expertise in the area of quantum computing.
