Patero And Eridan Quantum Secure For Future 5G Networks
Patero and Eridan Make 5G Quantum-Secure.
Eridan, a pioneer in Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) technology, and Patero, a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), have integrated Patero's CryptoQoR suite with Eridan's recently released 5G radio units, advancing secure and energy-efficient communications. The agreement sets a new standard for securing 5G networks, especially critical infrastructure, from quantum computing attacks.
A New Secure 5G Standard
The combined solution is intended to deliver private 5G networks energy efficiency and quantum-error-resistant security. This milestone addresses changing cybersecurity threats to protect 5G network connectivity from powerful computers.
Property owners and infrastructure operators may suffer from natural disasters or cyberattacks. Strong cybersecurity is as important as fire or flood content restoration. Cooperation adds strategic resilience. Patero's PQC and Eridan's cutting-edge radio technology will prevent data breaches and improve system resilience through proactive defence.

Innovative radio technology by Patero and Eridan
This partnership features Eridan's revolutionary radio technology. It claims their Miracle Radio Unit is the first all-digital, polar modulation-based radio. Notable for:
Breakthrough Coverage and Throughput: The radio uses clean signals to increase coverage with an ultra-low EVM of 0.4%. It boosts cell edge throughput. Eridan's radio uses less than 40W, five times less than ordinary radios. It provides Category B range and throughput with 20 times less power. Compact Size: The world's smallest outdoor radio weighs 2 kilogrammes, making installation easier and cheaper. Modularity permits frequency deployment from 600MHz to 4.2GHz. Patero's CryptoQoR software improves data protection against conventional and quantum assaults by providing cryptographic agility. Eridan's hybrid and agile quantum-resistant encryption can deliver 4X more data in the same bandwidth due to its energy efficiency.
National Security and Critical Infrastructure
This partnership supports U.S. federal cybersecurity efforts. It backs Executive Order 14144, which requires departmental and agency-level post-quantum cryptography to defend next-generation computer architecture. It supports National Security Memorandum 10, which encourages American quantum computing leadership and weak cryptography. Compliance facilitation by this joint approach may lead to finance and regulatory approval for key infrastructure projects.
Scalable and versatile, the integrated solution is perfect for many applications. It works well with private 5G networks in:
Cities in the US Transportation hubs and ports Airports Educational campuses Agricultural activities Eridan's highly efficient radio technology can lift productivity in manufacturing, energy, logistics, transportation, autonomy, and agriculture by eliminating dead zones.
Views on Leadership
“This collaboration represents a leap forward in securing its critical infrastructure,” Eridan CEO Omid Tahernia remarked. Patero's post-quantum encryption over Open RAN technology provides 4X more data in the same bandwidth with 5X energy efficiency. Patero's hybrid, agile quantum-resistant encryption allows this.
Patero CEO Crick Waters said the partnership with Eridan illustrates its commitment to quantum-resistant critical infrastructure cybersecurity. We help operators develop secure, efficient, and future-proof networks.
broader implications and future outlook Through more than 40 international patents and ten years of research and development, Eridan has set a new bar for 5G radio performance with its Direct Polar Modulation-based radio unit. On March 3, 2025, the company revealed Miracle RU manufacturing would increase. The company received $36.8 million in CHIPS & Science Act Grants in December 2024 to commercialise and expand its inventions.
This quantum-secure Open RAN effort advances telecommunications and establishes digital resilience across vital industries by ensuring that 5G networks are faster, more effective, and intrinsically secure against threats.
The Disaster Recovery Journal (DRJ), a leading resource for business continuity, disaster recovery, crisis management, and risk management, emphasises strategic resilience in a changing world to over 138,000 professionals worldwide. This collaboration exemplifies proactive methods needed in today's complex threat environment.
