SMARTS-Quanttelecom LLC

SMARTS-Quanttelecom LLC (ООО «СМАРТС-Кванттелеком»), also known internationally as Quanttelecom LLC, is a Russian technology company specialising in quantum communications and information security. According to its official website, the company has been developing quantum technologies in Russia since 2014 and is registered in the national register of IT companies. It describes itself as a manufacturer of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems and of component base for quantum technologies, including single-photon detectors and phase and amplitude electro-optical modulators. Beyond hardware, it provides integrated design of quantum networks and carries out fundamental and applied research in quantum communications. The company's product portfolio is centred on the KVALION quantum cryptographic key generation and distribution system, alongside a family of enabling components: photon detectors, electro-optical phase modulators, electro-optical amplitude modulators, a quantum random number generator (marketed as FGSCh), and a management and monitoring subsystem for quantum networks (PUM). The PUM software, developed by ITMO University in partnership with SMARTS-Quanttelecom, is registered in the Russian software registry and is designed for geographically distributed telecommunications networks, including quantum ones. The company also offers an educational complex, consulting and expert services on certification of information security tools, and warranty service. SMARTS-Quanttelecom states that its solutions are used in federal projects for the development of backbone quantum network infrastructure implemented by Russian Railways (OAO RZD). It reports participation in research and applied projects under the government-approved roadmap for the high-technology area "Quantum Communications". Since 2023 it has been a resident of the innovative scientific and technological centre "Intelligent Electronics – Valdai". The company claims more than 100 employees, over 25 scientific and technical projects, 17 invention patents, and involvement in 5,450 km of quantum networks. It holds licences from the FSB and the Ministry of Defence of Russia required for developing information security tools and handling state secrets, and maintains its own secrecy regime unit. Pricing for the company's goods, works and services is determined individually depending on the scope of supply, configuration, volume of work, integration, support, training and operating conditions; commercial proposals are provided on request. The company is a private limited liability company (OOO) and is not publicly listed. Its main public contact channels are its website and sales@quanttelecom.ru.

SMARTS-Quanttelecom LLC states on its official website that it has been developing quantum technologies in Russia since 2014. The company operates as a private limited liability company (OOO) and is registered in the Russian register of IT companies. Its early activity focused on applied research and development in information technology, quantum communications and information security, with the goal of maximising the protection of transmitted data. Over time the company built a product line around quantum key distribution and the underlying component base. Its flagship system is KVALION, a quantum cryptographic system for key generation and distribution. The company also manufactures single-photon detectors and electro-optical phase and amplitude modulators, and offers the FGSCh quantum random number generator, which uses vacuum fluctuations as the physical source of randomness and a single-mode laser as the entropy source. The PUM management and monitoring subsystem for quantum networks was developed by ITMO University in partnership with SMARTS-Quanttelecom and is registered in the Russian software registry. According to the company, its solutions are used in federal projects for the development of backbone quantum network infrastructure implemented by Russian Railways (OAO RZD). The company reports participation in research and applied projects under the roadmap for the high-technology area "Quantum Communications" approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. Since 2023 it has been a resident of the innovative scientific and technological centre "Intelligent Electronics – Valdai". The company reports more than 100 employees, more than 25 scientific and technical projects, 17 invention patents, and involvement in 5,450 km of quantum networks. It holds licences from the FSB and the Ministry of Defence of Russia necessary for work related to the development of information security tools and the use of state secrets, and maintains its own secrecy regime unit. It also provides consulting and expert services related to certification of information security tools and protected information and telecommunications systems.
