They’re caused by someone digging where they shouldn’t, while not following processes. Or a ship anchor dragging across cables that carries up to 99% of the world’s internet traffic. Critical infrastructure is everywhere: underground, underwater, connecting cities, countries and continents. But the monitoring? It’s barely evolved in decades. At FiberSense, we believe the fiber itself should do the watching. Our distributed fiber optic sensing technology converts cables already in the ground (and sea) into real-time sensor arrays, detecting threats before they become outages. The result: greater than 50% outage reduction, year on year, for the terrestrial networks we protect. We’re going to be actively sharing how this works over the coming months - starting with the two most critical environments: terrestrial infrastructure and subsea cables. #FiberSense #CriticalInfrastructure #FiberOptics #InfrastructureProtection
