FiberSense software

Saving lives and costs by preventing excavation strikes damaging underground infrastructure.

Detecting threats to vital subsea cables before damage even occurs. Subsea cables are the arteries and nerves of the global community and FiberSense is protecting them from harm.

Cities can run more safely and better but need the insights to measure and control them. FiberSense makes it possible to know and understand all movement in a city without having to deploy sensors in the field. By repurposing existing fiberoptic cables already in the ground we can provide total awareness in gapless grids at massive scale. We are helping city governments in several countries bring the benefits of a ubiquitous precision sensing fabric to their citizens through our DigitalCity portfolio.

FiberSense has developed a groundbreaking technology that transforms existing fiber optic cables into comprehensive seismic sensor networks. By utilizing these ubiquitous underground cables, they are able to create extensive arrays of sensors that significantly enhance the ability to detect and warn about earthquakes and tsunamis on city, country, and even continental scales. This system allows for lifesaving early warnings, providing vital time for people to seek shelter. The technology eliminates the need for traditional seismometers in every structure, instead leveraging the widespread presence of fiber optic infrastructure to deliver numerous data points. This approach not only aids in immediate emergency responses but also provides valuable geophysical data to advance scientific understanding. FiberSense’s innovative use of existing telecommunications infrastructure stands to dramatically improve post-earthquake recovery processes by enabling rapid assessments of building safety without necessitating pre-installed devices.

DigitalLeak from FiberSense provides an advanced solution for the ongoing challenge of water loss in global infrastructures, primarily caused by burst water mains, leaks, operational inefficiencies, and unauthorized connections.Although existing point sensor-based systems offer various approaches, they fall short in achieving network scale impact required for significant progress in this domain. Responsible for about 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions,water and wastewater infrastructures present severe economic and environmental risks if left unaddressed. DigitalLeak stands out by utilizing fiber optic cables already present in the ground for effective and economical monitoring per mile. This solution is designed to rapidly detect and respond to bursts and threats, offering insights essential for efficient water leak management and conservation. DigitalLeak aims to transform industry standards, presenting itself as a pivotal tool in enhancing water security and management practices.
