MagiQ Technologies — vendor dossier

MagiQ Technologies

QKDQuantum sensingEnabling supply chain
M

One of the earliest commercial QKD vendors. Founded 1999 by Bob Gelfond; in 2003 announced Navajo, marketed as the first commercial QKD product, followed by the QPN series (QPN 5505 / 7505 / 8505) in 2004-2006. Commercial QKD visibility has declined since the mid-2010s; the company has diversified into RF spectrum-recovery hardware for the US Department of Defense (AIMS) and, more recently, fibre-optic seismic sensing (GeoLite). Customer base centres on US defence and research agencies — Air Force, Navy, Army, DARPA, DOE, NASA — alongside energy and critical-infrastructure operators.
