DAS Technology Services
Overview
We convert existing or newly-laid fiber along infrastructure into dense arrays of acoustic sensors. Laser pulses travel through the fiber and are read back as digital signals, enabling detection and classification of activity along the route — effectively turning the fiber into an always-on stethoscope for assets and corridors.
How It Works
Fiber-as-Sensor
Standard telecom fiber is synthesized into thousands of virtual sensing points with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution — no intervention along the fiber is required.
Long-Range Coverage
Single topside instrumentation can monitor over 100 km+ of route per channel, enabling cost-efficient coverage of wide geographies and subsea links.
Event Intelligence
24/7 measurements power real-time detection, classification, and alerting for threats, anomalies, and operational events.
Service Lines
Subsea Asset Watch
Surveillance of subsea cables and adjacent installations. Detect surface traffic, divers, ROV activity, and potential interference near critical corridors.
Pipeline Integrity & Intrusion
Detect third-party interference (TPI), leaks, excavations, and machinery near onshore or offshore pipelines.
Power Cable Monitoring
Guard land and subsea power links; track excavations, anchor drag, or maintenance operations along cable routes.
Rail & Road Safety
Monitor derailment precursors, rail breaks, trespass, rockfall, and traffic anomalies across transport corridors.
Perimeter & Corridor Security
Establish virtual fences for airports, ports, industrial zones, and borders using existing fiber backbones.
Urban & Smart-City Sensing
City-scale situational awareness: construction vibration, heavy vehicle patterns, and incident localization.
Geophysical & Subsurface
Leverage DAS for passive/active seismic to image near-surface structures, supporting engineering and safety.
Why It Matters
Challenges Addressed
Unmonitored critical infrastructure, high O&M costs, and costly accidents and fractures.
Value Delivered
Proactive surveillance to deter sabotage, reduce maintenance spend, and maintain granular operational control.
Outcomes
Faster incident response, better asset utilization, and data-driven planning across networks.
Deployment & Operations
Drop-In Architecture
Instrument units connect to fiber at strategic nodes. Existing ducts and strands can be used; greenfield or brownfield.
Coverage Design
Area-of-interest layouts tailored for corridors (pipelines, rails, power lines) and subsea spans.
Data & Diagnostics
Dashboards, alarms, and periodic reports. API export to enterprise SOC/NOC and maintenance systems.
Commercial Models
Flexible options to align with budgets and risk profiles
Monitoring-as-a-Service
Monthly subscription covering 24/7 monitoring, analytics, and reports. SLA tiers with response-time commitments.
CapEx + O&M
Purchase of equipment plus long-term operations contract with performance KPIs and availability guarantees.
Pilot-to-Scale
Rapid proof-of-value on priority corridors, followed by phased roll-out across the network.
Key KPIs
Detection & Classification
Time-to-detect, false alarm rates, and classification accuracy by event type.
Coverage & Availability
Route-kilometers monitored, uptime %, and incident resolution times.
Cost & Impact
Maintenance cost reduction, incident prevention counts, and avoided downtime.
