FOTAS (Fiber Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing) is an advanced fiber optic monitoring solution designed for the continuous surveillance and protection of critical infrastructure.
Using existing or dedicated optical fiber cables as distributed sensors, FOTAS enables the real-time detection, localization and classification of vibrations and acoustic events along extensive infrastructure routes.
The system can identify unusual activities and potential threats such as unauthorized access, excavation work, intrusion, tampering, mechanical impacts or other security-relevant events – providing early warning before damage or disruption occurs.
FOTAS is particularly suitable for the monitoring and protection of:
Other safety- and security-critical infrastructure
By providing continuous, real-time monitoring over long distances, FOTAS supports operators in detecting threats at an early stage, precisely locating incidents and responding quickly.
The solution combines the advantages of fiber optic sensing with intelligent event analysis, enabling 24/7 infrastructure monitoring without the need for conventional sensors at every individual monitoring point.
Protect. Detect. Locate.
FOTAS provides continuous fiber optic monitoring for critical infrastructure – helping operators detect threats before they become critical.
