In today's volatile geopolitical climate, safeguarding critical infrastructure has become more crucial than ever. Recent incidents, such as the suspected sabotage of undersea cables in the Baltic Sea, have highlighted the vulnerabilities in our essential communication and energy networks.

AP Sensing's Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) solutions offer a proactive defense against such threats. Our technology enables real-time detection, localization, and identification of third-party intrusions on pipelines, power cables, and telecommunication infrastructure.

By continuously monitoring for abnormal activities, our DFOS solutions allow for immediate countermeasures, preventing significant damage and aiding in the identification of potential perpetrators. The data collected can also play a pivotal role in investigating acts of sabotage, ensuring that malicious activities are thoroughly examined and addressed.
With AP Sensing's DFOS technology, activities such as tunneling, shoveling, dredging, and unauthorized excavations are detected, classified, and pinpointed in real time, providing utilities with the actionable intelligence needed to protect their assets effectively.
