The funding supports the NEXUS project, which aims to improve hardware efficiency, expand production capacity, and develop orchestration software for multi-operator quantum networks. Q*Bird's Falqon® Series is already deployed in critical infrastructure including the Port of Rotterdam, Madrid's metropolitan network, and cross-border Benelux connections, with plans to advance industrial-scale deployment continent-wide. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
