# Toshiba Demonstrates Quantum-Safe Networks in Singapore

Toshiba Asia Pacific, SpeQtral, and HPE validated a communications solution combining post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution (QKD) with existing IPsec VPN infrastructure. They plan to demonstrate it at GovWare 2026 in Singapore, October 13–15. No contract or solicitation is disclosed; the development is relevant to government network operators and contractors assessing ways to strengthen critical communications while retaining existing network infrastructure.

- The demonstrated approach combines PQC and QKD with IPsec VPNs, presenting a potential path to quantum-safe protections without replacing existing VPN infrastructure.
- Procurement teams can use the GovWare demonstration to assess the solution’s technical fit for government or critical-infrastructure networks; the event begins October 13.
- Network and cybersecurity contractors may evaluate whether integration, deployment, and support services around this approach fit their offerings. The signal does not identify a specific procurement or funding opportunity.
