Forward Edge-AI Japan and its parent Forward Edge-AI Inc. have signed an MoU with SKY Perfect JSAT to test post-quantum cryptography in satellite communications. The current testing phase exists at its initial testing stage which proves the technology works. The demonstration shows that they want to verify satellite networks ability to function after quantum computing reaches its operational stage.
The urgency here is real. Quantum computing is not mainstream yet, but when it gets there, a lot of today’s encryption methods could become obsolete. That puts critical infrastructure at risk, especially sectors like telecom, power, and finance where secure communication is non-negotiable.
The plan is to test PQC directly on SKY Perfect JSAT’s satellite communication lines. The process involves establishing encrypted links through PQC technology while testing its effects on connection speed and system durability and total communication performance.

Every participant contributes essential components to the entire solution. Forward Edge-AI contributes its PQC technologies, while SKY Perfect JSAT brings operational expertise in satellite networks and access to infrastructure clients.
Step back and this is part of a bigger shift. Security is no longer about reacting to threats. It is about preparing for ones that have not fully arrived yet. Quantum is one of them, and companies that start testing early are the ones that will not scramble later.
