Applications of quantum information enabled by solid-state quantum light sources currently witness the transition from laboratory proof-of-concept to field-experiments. In this contribution we present our recent progress in establishing a quantum local area network at the Campus Charlottenburg of TU Berlin. We show results of an actively stabilized free-space optical link with an effective length of 400 m and an end-to-end transmission of >70%. In addition, we operate a fiber-link between two buildings consisting of 6x 650 m of dark optical fiber. Moreover, we discuss the deployment of mobile deterministic single-photon sources based on compact cryocoolers and fiber-pigtailed quantum dot microcavities [FC-CBG] and evaluate the suitability for implementations of different types of cryptographic primitives.
