S-10 Single Channel Perimeter Security

FOTAS S-10 is a fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing system that
can be used easily in different situations. S-10 keeps your fences and
borders safe and sends early warnings of threats. It is one of the
proven early systems for security. FOTAS detects third-party
intervention, illegal crossing attempts, and unauthorized excavations
along a line spanning several kilometers.

S-10 Technical Details

Fiber Optic Cable Single-mode fiber optic cable
Detection Channels Single fiber channel of real time independent intrusion detection
Detection Distance 10 km
Sensing Technology Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (COTDR)
Maximum Fiber Loss 10dB (typical max distance ~ 10km /ch)
Operating Life > 10 years (dependent on operating environment and regular maintenance)
Artificial Intelligence Deep-learning-based intrusion detection algorithms optimize sensitivity and probability of detection. Locations can be changed with parameters to avoid nuisance alarms. Different algorithms exist for buried and fence applications. The system is hybrid since both are applicable.
Detection Resolution 10 m (32.8 ft) between detection points along sensing fiber (100 measurements per km of sensing fiber) 100 m (328 ft) minimum cable separation between individually reported disturbances (simultaneous)
System Interface Web 2.0
Sensor Sections Software configurable, independent sensor sections (detection zones).
