EigenQ and WNC Announce Strategic Collaboration to Deliver FIPS-Certified Quantum-Safe Hardware at HPE Discover 2025

LAS VEGAS, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EigenQ Inc., the first company to ship Enterprise and Military level FIPS 203/204-certified post-quantum security systems, and WNC Corporation (WNC), a global leader in advanced enterprise, service provider, automotive, and IoT product development and manufacturing, today announced a collaboration to accelerate volume production and go-to-market for quantum-safe servers, appliances, and edge devices.  EigenQ is hosting an exclusive invitation-only event in Las Vegas during the week of HPE Discover 2025, highlighting an exciting new strategic collaboration. The timing of our announcement offers a unique opportunity for attendees and partners to engage with both companies during a key week in enterprise and security innovation.

Under the agreement, WNC will provide contract-manufacturing (CM) and joint-design-and-manufacturing (JDM) services for EigenQ's Post-Quantum Unit™ (PQU) hardware and Quantum Encryption Module™ (QEM) software stack. The combined solution delivers NSA CSfC-ready lattice-based encryption and authentication at line rate, meeting the U.S. Government's 2027 deadline for post-quantum cryptography mandated by the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act and the June 2025 Presidential Executive Order on quantum-safe migration.

"Partnering with WNC lets us scale from pilot runs to tens of thousands of units while preserving secure, U.S.-controlled supply chains," said Dr. Jesse Van Griensven Thé, CEO of EigenQ. "It means federal and enterprise customers can deploy FIPS-certified quantum-proof infrastructure today, align with current regulations, mitigating the threats of today and tomorrow."

Dr. Horen Chen, CTO of WNC, added, "Our partnership with EigenQ represents a strategic milestone as WNC officially enters the field of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). By integrating EigenQ's cutting-edge quantum-encryption technology into our secure hardware platforms, we're proud to deliver the world's first NSA-compliant and NIST-certified quantum-safe solutions for data center servers. With quantum computing on the horizon, WNC is uniquely positioned to scale manufacturing and deployment of future-proof, quantum-resistant, cryptographic devices to address the growing demand across enterprise, service provider, automotive, and IoT verticals."

Key Elements of the Collaboration

• Turnkey production of EigenQ's PCIe, M.2, and 1U secure-server modules in WNC's ISO-27001 and ISO-9001 facilities.
• Joint HPE ecosystem enablement—the partners will validate PQU-enabled Gen11 ProLiant servers for public-sector and defense workloads.
• Road-map alignment to co-develop Wi-Fi 7 and 5G small-cell platforms with embedded post-quantum encryption.
• Go-to-market cooperation targeting U.S. federal agencies, critical-infrastructure operators, and hyperscale cloud providers facing FY-2027 compliance milestones.

Availability

Pilot quantities of the PQU Gen2 card are shipping now to select integrators.  Volume production through WNC begins Q4 2025, with HPE-qualified server bundles available early 2026.
