Allot Chairs New Post-Quantum Communications Consortium
Key Takeaways
Consortium Leadership: Allot Ltd. is a founding member and Chair of a new Post-Quantum Communications (PQC) Consortium supported by the Israel Innovation Authority.
Partner Composition: The consortium brings together nine technology companies and six academic institutions in Israel.
Technology Scope: Research focuses on post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, and hybrid approaches across multiple network layers.
Allot Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT, TASE: ALLT), a provider of security-as-a-service and network intelligence solutions for communication service providers and enterprises, announced on August 18, 2026, that it is a founding member and Chair of the Post-Quantum Communications (PQC) Consortium. Supported by the Israel Innovation Authority’s Technological Infrastructure Division, the consortium unites industry and academic partners to develop technologies that secure communications networks and protect data and users against future quantum computing threats.
Quantum-Safe Technology Development
The consortium will develop and evaluate technologies based on post-quantum cryptography (PQC), quantum key distribution (QKD), and hybrid approaches that combine both. Research efforts will address multiple network layers and environments, including optical, Ethernet, IP, mobile, satellite, data center, and internet-based communications. These efforts aim to produce quantum-resistant protections as quantum computers advance and threaten widely used cryptographic systems. Allot contributes its network intelligence and security expertise within the broader collaborative framework.
Industry Collaboration and Strategic Positioning
Industry members include Allot, Ceragon, Classiq, Gilat Satellite Networks, HEQA Security, Elta, NVIDIA, RAD, and Ribbon. Academic partners comprise Bar-Ilan University, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, The Open University of Israel, the Technion, and the University of Haifa.
We are proud that Allot is a founding member of this initiative, working alongside NVIDIA, RAD, leading technology innovators, and Israel’s top academic institutions. Together, we will help create the technologies needed to protect global communications networks, enterprises and users in the quantum era.
Dr. Yaakov Stein, VP CTO of Allot, Chair of the Consortium Board, and Head of the Scientific Committee, stated: “The transition to quantum-safe communications is one of the most important cybersecurity challenges facing the world today. We are proud that Allot is a founding member of this initiative, working alongside NVIDIA, RAD, leading technology innovators, and Israel’s top academic institutions. Together, we will help create the technologies needed to protect global communications networks, enterprises and users in the quantum era.” The consortium is intended to accelerate development of quantum-safe communications technologies.
Bottom Line
Allot’s chair role places the company at the center of a new industry-academic effort focused on quantum-safe communications.
