Xairos Achieves Two-Kilometer Milestone with Ares Quantum Optical Terminal
Xairos Systems has completed two-kilometer free-space range testing for its Ares Quantum Optical Terminal. The demonstration successfully established simultaneous quantum and optical links with 10 Gbps free-space optical communications. This validates quantum-secure communications and resilient PNT capabilities for contested environments. The system supports future mesh networks across aircraft, UAS, ships, and space assets.
