FiberSense - Seismic Detection and Early Warning Software

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.
