We report a realization of ultra-fast photon pair sources, specif- ically designed for efficient, long-distance, quantum relay operation. As a viable solution, our sources are capable to deliver high quality single photon pairs at high repetition rate, guaranteeing efficient operational condition for intended protocol.
