As part of the Anquor Project the AURORA KMS was successfully integrated with the free space link of Airbus and the Munich Quantum Network (MuQuaNet) operated by the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. AIT contributed with one more ThinkQuantum link and of course the AURORA KMS.
The free space link on the picture spanned from the black box on the far left of the image to the opposing box with holes for the free space link. In the bottom right of the image in the portable rack the AURORA KMS by AIT and a ThinkQuantum link can be seen, the Quantum Optics Jena link is shown in the picture below.
The AURORA KMS by AIT interacted with each device via a different interface. The Airbus system was using the ETSI GS QKD 004 in push mode, QOJ was using ETSI 014 in http and TQ the same but with TLS enabled. The test was conducted successfully and a key was transmitted to the application.
