| Q-Peak is in the town of Bedford, Massachusetts, neighboring the towns of Concord, Burlington and Lexington. The135 South Road facility was first used by the Quantum Electronics Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in the 1980's. In 1997 the Group moved back into the main Lincoln building, leaving a space that was custom built as a laser research and development laboratory, and Q-Peak moved in. The 15,000-square-foot, ground-floor facility is configured with offices on the outer perimeter and laboratory and production spaces on the inside. |

| From Boston's Logan Airport, exit the airport for downtown Boston and go thru the Sumner Tunnel, following signs to Route 93 North. Stay on Route 93 for about 10.7 miles until it intersects with Route 95 (aka Route 128) and then exit onto 95 South. After about 7 miles, take exit 31B, following Routes 4/225 towards Bedford. After about 2 miles, take a left turn onto Loomis Street, just before a small shopping mall with a CVS Pharmacy. After about 3/8 mile, when Loomis intersects South Road, take a left onto South Road. 135 South Road, a large, red brick building, is about 100 yards on the right. Park on either side of the building and come in the center entrance. Q-Peak is on the first (ground) floor. |
