In a breakthrough for secure telecommunications, Patero, a specialist in post-quantum cryptography, and Eridan, an innovator in Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) technology, have announced the successful integration of Patero’s CryptoQoR™ cryptographic suite with Eridan’s next-generation 5G radio units. This joint development marks a critical step toward defending 5G communications infrastructure from future quantum computing threats.
The combined system is designed to support private 5G networks that are not only resilient to quantum-era cyberattacks but also optimized for low power consumption, offering a powerful solution for critical use cases across U.S. cities, ports, airports, university campuses, and smart agriculture environments.
“This partnership highlights Patero’s commitment to declaim next-generation, quantum-resistant security solutions customize for vital infrastructure,” said Crick Waters, Chief Executive Officer of Patero. “We’re helping network operators deploy platforms that are secure, efficient, and ready for the future.”

Quantum Protection Meets Wireless Innovation
By embedding post-quantum encryption within Eridan’s ultra-efficient Open RAN technology, the companies are offering a new benchmark in secure wireless performance. This synergy delivers up to four times more data throughput in the same bandwidth and achieves up to five times greater energy efficiency, according to Eridan.
“This represents a significant step forward in protecting the nation’s most critical systems,” said Omid Tahernia, CEO of Eridan. “Integrating Patero’s post-quantum encryption into our Clean Signal technology enables organizations to scale securely while significantly cutting energy consumption.”
Backing Federal Cybersecurity GoalsThe solution also directly supports U.S. federal efforts to modernize cybersecurity frameworks across industries. It aligns with Executive Order 14144, which calls for agencies to prepare for post-quantum threats, and National Security Memorandum 10, which outlines strategies to strengthen national leadership in quantum technologies while securing cryptographic systems at risk.
