The most advanced applications of quantum networks require the distribution of entanglement across nodes that are universal quantum processors. I will present our progress on developing a multi-qubit, telecom-interfaced quantum network node that consists of a string of trapped ions coupled to an optical cavity. The recent results achieved with this node include establishing ten mater-photon entangled pairs, generation of three partite entangled state of photons, and multi-second storage of quantum information. The node is a part of a prototype quantum network being built in Innsbruck that will span over metropolitan distances and beyond.
