We demonstrate qubit transmission via an optical cable in a metropolitan area network using quantum communications via sidebands with record-setting system parameters for such systems in network mode. The sifted-key generation rate was 1.06 Mbits/s with losses of 1.63 dB and a quantum error coefficient of 1%.
