telaQ: The Quantum Network Digital Twin At the core of nodeQ’s offering is telaQ, a cloud-based quantum digital twin platform. telaQ allows users to model, simulate and optimise hybrid classical– quantum networks before committing capital or deploying infrastructure.
A Scalable Software Model nodeQ operates a capital-light, high- margin software business model. telaQ is delivered as a subscription-based SaaS platform, while PQtunnel is sold via per-endpoint subscriptions. With minimal marginal costs and strong customer retention driven by architectural lock-in rather than contracts, nodeQ is positioned for scalable, sustainable growth. Preparing Networks for a Quantum Future As quantum-safe security becomes a near-term requirement and quantum networking evolves toward production environments, the ability to plan and manage complexity at the system level will be essential. nodeQ’s mission is to become the foundational software layer for this transition, enabling secure networks today and scalable quantum-enabled infrastructure tomorrow.
post-quantum secure client-server connections on existing infrastructure, either as a standalone product or as an add-on to telaQ-Security. Together, telaQ and PQtunnel support a full lifecycle approach: from network design and validation, through deployment and toward future real-time orchestration. This allows customers to move incrementally, starting with pilots and scaling to large operational networks without architectural dead ends. Proven Expertise and Early Traction nodeQ’s competitive advantage is rooted in deep multidisciplinary expertise across quantum physics, cryptography, networking and telecom systems. The team has authored more than 350 peer-reviewed scientific publications and brings direct experience from live telecom deployments. This expertise is embedded directly into nodeQ’s software, delivering modelling accuracy and scalability that are extremely difficult to replicate. The platform is already used by major telecom operators, with active subscriptions, paying customers and non-dilutive grant funding. nodeQ’s technology and team have also received industry recognition, including multiple international awards for innovation in communications and quantum technology.
The platform is available in two configurations:
n telaQ-Security , for planning and validating quantum-safe networks using PQC, QKD, or hybrid approaches n telaQ-Computing , for designing and optimising future quantum computing and entanglement distribution networks Using telaQ, customers can design or import real network topologies, define traffic requirements, and evaluate how different technologies and routing strategies perform under realistic operational constraints. The platform quantitatively reveals trade-offs between security, throughput, scalability and cost, enabling investment-grade decision-making rather than trial-and-error deployment.
