      "summary_nl": "CUbIQ Technologies revolutioneert in optische communicatie met intelligente analoge verwerking in fotonica-chips. Door analoge signaalverwerking te integreren in chips, is ons doel 100x kosten- en energiebesparing ten opzichte van op digitale signaalverwerking gebaseerde zendontvangers. Dit vindt zijn eerste toepassing in kwantumveilige optische zendontvanger, allemaal compact ontworpen om te passen in een Quad Small Form Factor (QSFP) 28 module, vergelijkbaar met de grootte van een USB-stick. We zullen chipsets van de eerste generatie bouwen met behulp van geselecteerde halfgeleiderfabrikanten. Met de expertise van TU/e zal SPEED-E snel analoog signaalverwerkingsplatform demonstreren, dat belangrijke prestatie-indicatoren voor coherente en quantumbeveiligde optische communicatie zal benchmarken",

We will build first-generation chipsets using building blocks from selected Semiconductor foundries.
