This contribution focuses on experimental verification of the QKD system deployment in a multi-domain network environment managed by Czech and Polish National Research and Educational Network (NREN) operators. We demonstrate full functionality of such a solution for transmission of secret keys in boundary conditions, and with this we open up new possibilities for further use of extremely secure communication between two neighboring network entities, and the services built upon it. Moreover, we have shared the cross-border link among strong QKD service channels, accurate time, and classical data channels together with weak quantum channel to reduce the total number of optical fibers needed for transmission. To our knowledge, this is the first shared cross-border QKD transmission in the region of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
