Britain’s newly established National Energy System Operator (NESO) has been awarded funding for the next phase of its ‘Network Security in a Quantum Future’ project.
The innovation project Network Security in a Quantum Future has been awarded funding to progress to Alpha phase development, building on the recently completed and successful delivery of the Discovery phase in May 2024.
The non-terrestrial network economy is extraordinary commercial opportunity for those who prepare now, just as the completion really starts to heat up
