MINNEAPOLIS, MN – December 10, 2025 — Secured2 Corporation, the pioneer of QuantaMorphic® quantum-secure® data protection and ParticleMesh™ networking, today announced a strategic alliance with Clearfield, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLFD), a leader in fiber management and optical interconnect solutions. This collaborative effort aims to build next-generation data center and communication infrastructure — one that is quantum-secure, sustainable, and designed for the new era of intelligent connectivity.
An Alliance to Redefine the Digital Backbone
This alliance unites Secured2's physics-based, quantum-secure data protection with Clearfield's world-class expertise in fiber connectivity, mass assembly, and field deployment. Clearfield's infrastructure will serve as the optical backbone enabling scalable mesh networks.
Using their proven FieldSmart® fiber management systems and craft-friendly assemblies, Clearfield will enable rapid, modular deployment of these secure networks — from rural America to high-stakes operations.
"Secured2's vision for a quantum-secure mesh aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify and accelerate fiber deployment at the edge of the network. This alliance supports our strategy to expand into adjacent markets that complement our core broadband business. Together, we are enabling the most advanced, secure, and resilient communications infrastructure." — Cheri Beranek, President and CEO of Clearfield
Smart Mesh + Quantum-Secure Protection
At the core of this initiative is the deployment of Secured2's ParticleMesh™ — an adaptive, physics-protected networking technology that forms a self-organizing mesh across devices, drones, sensors, and data centers. When combined with Secured2's QuantaMorphic® technology, data is shrunk, shredded, and secured into micro-particles, rendering it impervious to quantum and AI-based attacks.
The shared goal is ambitious yet clear: to deliver an inherently scalable, sovereign, and secure data infrastructure that can power AI, defense, and enterprise applications at unprecedented scale and resilience.
"Our alliance with Clearfield accelerates the realization of a secure and connected world. Together, we are building the data center infrastructure of the future — one that is quantum-secure, self-healing, and built to protect every bit of data — to the edge and beyond with Secured2's partner Phantom Space." — Daren Klum, CEO of Secured2
Building the Foundation for Tomorrow's Compute
Secured2 and Clearfield are also collaborating on the MIIND™ data center platform — a new generation of modular, immersion-cooled, and self-powered data centers integrating Secured2's quantum-secure platform with Clearfield's optical network technologies. These facilities will provide the physical foundation for the world's AI, quantum, and defense computing workloads, with quantum-secure® protection built in at every layer.
