LAFAYETTE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Xairos Systems, Inc., a quantum technology company that is developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture to augment timing from GPS (Global Positioning Systems), announces its selection as a Top Innovator in the ?Quantum for Society Challenge.? The award was presented on World Quantum Day in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, by the World Economic Forum and partners the Center for the 4th Industrial Revolution Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Uplink Initiative.

Xairos joined a select set of companies in Riyadh that were recognized for harnessing quantum technologies to ensure a sustainable future for humanity. Specifically, Xairos was recognized for their role in developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture using Quantum Time Transfer. Accurate timing synchronization is critical for improving the efficiency of power grids, networks and data centers, including those needing higher compute capabilities due to rising demand from Artificial Intelligence.

?We are honored to be selected by the World Economic Forum, the Center for the 4th Industrial Revolution Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Uplink Initiative,? said David Mitlyng, CEO of Xairos. ?With their support, we can accelerate the vision of using quantum tech for the betterment of society.?

About Xairos

Xairos is developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture using Quantum Time Transfer (QTT), a protocol invented, patented, and perfected by the Xairos team. Accurate timing synchronization is critical for the world?s transportation, networks, financial transactions, data centers, and power grids. Xairos is commercializing QTT to develop the next generation of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT), with sub-nanosecond-level accuracy (1000 times better) and the security needed for future networks and applications.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
