About this report
QTI is an Italy-based quantum communications company focused on Quantum Key Distribution systems and related secure-network components designed for integration into existing telecommunications infrastructure. Publicly available sources place the company in Florence, identify it as a spin-off linked to Italy’s National Research Council, and show that it now operates within the industrial perimeter of TIM Group through Telsy.
Its strategic relevance lies less in “quantum” branding as such than in its practical role as a supplier of deployable secure-communications technology for networks that matter to governments, critical infrastructure operators, and, potentially, defence-related users.
Key questions this report answers
- What Quantum Key Distribution systems and secure-network components does QTI supply for integration into existing telecom infrastructure?
