These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
CanadaBuys records Ki3's QuanCAN research-and-development contract under the ISC Testing Stream from May 2026 to March 2027. It establishes a testing programme rather than operational acceptance of every component.
Commercial availability
Laboratories and network integrators can scope modular devices and software with Ki3. Interface, loss-budget and system-level acceptance requirements depend on the intended network.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
Reviewed connections
No reviewed Mission area or released Defence need connection is currently published.
Original sources 3 linked records
These records support this capability and its published Mission area and Defence need connections. A source count is not a count of independent confirmations.
Ki3 offers photonic sources, frequency-conversion technology, and system engineering intended to connect quantum devices over optical networks. Public evidence supports active R&D collaboration, but production scale and deployed-customer evidence remain limited.
