BORDER SECURITY

Secure Borders with Smart Fiber-Optic Monitoring

In today’s world, border security is no longer just about stopping movement—it’s about managing it with precision, responsibility, and adaptability.
As global migration increases, climate challenges intensify, and national boundaries become more sensitive, border infrastructure must be both technically advanced and ethically sound.

The FOTAS series of DAS and DTS systems developed by SAMM Teknoloji offers a reliable, real-time monitoring solution for long borderlines, turning optical cables into active sensing networks.

Border-Scale Acoustic Detection with DAS

 Silent Surveillance, Instant Alerts

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) transforms optical cables into hundreds of kilometers of continuous, intelligent listening.
Walking, crawling, digging, or vehicular movement along the border generates acoustic signals that DAS classifies and pinpoints in real time.

Beyond intrusions, the system can also help identify smuggling activity, unauthorized crossings, or emergency humanitarian events—supporting not just control, but also situational awareness.

Human-Aware, Security-Driven

Fiber optic sensing technologies show that border security is not just about stopping threats—it also involves managing human movement, detecting crises early, and protecting lives.
These systems go beyond detecting unauthorized crossings; they help analyze migration patterns more accurately, allowing security teams to respond in a more appropriate and human-focused way.
Smart sensing solutions like FOTAS enable faster and better-informed decision-making, while reducing the need for constant physical presence in sensitive areas.

Thermal Threat Detection with DTS in Harsh Border Environments

Border lines often pass through harsh environments—such as deserts, mountainous regions, or areas under extreme climate stress. Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology continuously monitors the condition of fiber infrastructure in such terrains, detecting temperature-related risks like wildfires, overheating, or structural degradation at an early stage. By ensuring the uninterrupted operation of security systems and identifying abnormal thermal patterns, DTS expands the scope of situational awareness. FOTAS DTS solutions offer an integrated approach to perimeter protection—addressing not only physical intrusions but also environmental threats.

Transition to Digital Border Management

The borders of tomorrow won’t be guarded by fences alone—but by intelligent sensing systems that can see and hear what’s approaching, before it arrives.
The FOTAS series DAS and DTS systems form the core of this approach.
They support smarter decisions, faster responses, and a more humane balance between protection and responsibility.
