SpeQtral is a Singapore-based startup developing quantum-secure communication systems.

==Technology==

~~Describe the underlying science and technology of the~~ startup ~~here~~. ~~Ideally~~, ~~it should provide~~ a ~~layman introduction of any key differentiators and/or novel or proprietary scientific breakthroughs being commercialised by the startup~~.

The startup uses Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technologies to create a secure communication network. They have both terrestrial-based and space-based solutions, and can integrate both into a comprehensive system.

==Intellectual Property==

~~The startup currently owns or licenses~~ the ~~following patents~~:
